ROAD SAFETY ISSUES ACTION
THE EXAMINER - ROAD SAFETY ISSUES ACTION - Letter to the editor (July 11, 2022)
LOCAL councillors frequently receive a bad rap for often seeming to do very little, so this is a shout-out to Launceston councillors Alan Harris and Tim Walker for taking the time to meet with several Swan Bay and Windermere residents recently.
They were responding to a detailed presentation compiled by some in the community, which became a council meeting agenda item, and wanted to hear more about concerns involving the area's increasing and potentially serious road safety issues. Some of these featured in an Examiner article in May.
Councillors Harris and Walker wanted to witness the problems for themselves. As a direct result there has finally been action on the installation of a streetlight at a new and potentially dangerous intersection, and some much-needed, and overdue, repairs have been carried out filling in potholes along certain sections.
Many thanks to both for ensuring these issues were finally fixed. It's unlikely I'm alone in looking forward to learning the council will now address the other concerns raised in our community's presentation.
Anne Layton-Bennett, Swan Bay.
