UPDATE: Residents of Clarence Valley are expressing outrage following the Clarence Valley Council’s controversial decision to rename Jackybulbin Road. This abrupt change, which affects numerous locals, is forcing residents, including Bobby McCaughey, to update their personal documents at their own expense.

In a heartfelt statement, McCaughey, who has lived in the area for six years, shared his frustration, stating, “I’m in tears over this decision. It feels like we are being ignored.” The council’s decision has sparked significant backlash, with many locals voicing their concerns about the financial burden and inconvenience of changing official documents.

As of now, the new road signs have already been installed along the Motorway, reflecting the new name. Residents report that the change has caused confusion and anger, as many were unaware of the impending alterations.

The council has yet to respond to the growing outrage. However, community leaders are rallying to demand a reversal of the decision, emphasizing the emotional and financial strain it places on families in the area.

This situation is developing rapidly, with a community meeting scheduled for later this week to discuss potential actions against the council. Residents are encouraged to voice their concerns as the impact of this name change resonates throughout the community.

The Clarence Valley Council is urged to reconsider the implications of their decision, as local sentiment remains firmly against the road name alteration. Stay tuned for updates as this story unfolds.
