Lavers Hill-Cobden Road, Simpson

Richard RIORDAN (Polwarth) presented a petition bearing 251 signatures:

Issue:

Issue: This petition is to draw the attention of the Legislative Assembly that the section of the Lavers Hill-Cobden Rd (C156) poses an immediate risk to the health and safety to those who travel upon it. The section of road north of the Ag Warehouse Simpson and before Coradjil Rd requires resurfacing. There are vehicle crashes and near misses weekly due to the road surface being worn, the aggregate no longer being exposed and the road having a ‘shiny’ glasslike finish causing vehicles to unexpectedly lose control even at the current reduced speed limits.

Action:

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly calls on the Government for the immediate resurfacing of this section of road to prevent injury or death.

Ordered that petition be considered tomorrow.
