North-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Richard WELCH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:56): (1159) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Residents across Eltham in my electorate are frustrated, concerned and worried as they drive down Diamond Creek Road due to the terrible state of the road as it is today. Locals call it the windy mile and say potholes are in the worst state they have ever been in. The poor road conditions are causing traffic jams and damage to local cars and trucks, and they have to pay for it out of their own pockets. Residents in Eltham are fed up with this key road being neglected and taken for granted by the Labor Party and simply want the potholes in Diamond Creek Road fixed properly. My question is: when will the minister commit to a comprehensive repair of the potholes in Diamond Creek Road ensuring the fixes are durable and long lasting so this issue does not recur again, as it has in the past?
