Sam GROTH (Nepean) (14:50): My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. I have been contacted by local residents who have serious concerns regarding the recent works on Arthurs Seat Road, Red Hill, which have caused a level of community outrage. Completed with little to no community consultation, the recent works include additional road signage, steel barriers and a speed reduction that have angered locals who feel the changes impinge on the rural lifestyle they enjoy. Indeed in some cases they believe the changes increase the danger of the road, with glare from barriers, an inability to pull safely off the road and distracting signage. Will the minister assess the impact of these barriers and work with the Red Hill community to remedy these works?
