Thousands of dollars has been ripped out of the Manly economy thanks to the Minns Labor Government’s decision to slash the former Coalition Government’s Back to School Vouchers.

Member for Manly, James Griffin said the program, which had been hugely popular, gave parents three $50 vouchers per child to help with the cost of school supplies, uniforms and technology.

“As parents and students prepare for a new school year, the pain of this decision is being felt right across our local community."

Local police ranks have been bolstered with the arrival of more police in the Northern Beaches Police District.

Member for Manly, James Griffin has welcomed the start of preliminary work to redevelop Manly Cove West, which includes the former Sea Life building (Manly Aquarium).
