Dad's role in Greater Cessnock to Cessnock

I was searching for info on Cessnock City Council, and up pops their logo, that instigated the dropping of, the word 'Greater ' from the name of 'Greater Cessnock City Council'.
My reason, was simple. When i looked for 'Cessnock ' in the phonebook, the Cessnock City Council, never came up, unless you knew that it was under 'Greater'?
'Daft', I said in Council when talking to my motion that when people(even Cessnockians' would be puzzled to not find it under 'C'
By the way I was Council 's rep on the Hunter Valley tourist committee.
Eventually the Officers and Aldermen saw my point of view after media publicity helped to point up my logic was costing us money in promotions when we were shooting ourselfs in the foot in spending big money in promoting 'Cessnock ' vineyards and not calling them 'Greater' Cessnock

So another victory for common sense and now you will be able to find Cessnock under 'C', not 'G'
Dad
