AFTER threes years of failed attempts, Bayswater council may finally get its own men’s shed.

Mayor Sylvan Albert says there have been many failed attempts to set up a local workshop but this time it’s different.

“The project is now to be driven from the ground up and led by [the community],” Cr Albert says.

One important decision will be choosing between the council’s three preferred sites: Bedford Bowling Club, 15 Wright Street in Bayswater or Whatley Hall on Hardy Street and a nearby abandoned tennis court.

A public meeting on the issue starts at 6pm Wednesday, July 26, at the council’s Embleton Room, 61 Broun Avenue, Morley.
