Rebecca Ingram, Mullumbimby
The carnage on the back roads around Mullumbimby, Myocum and Byron is awful and increasing. Endangered birds are constantly being killed even when they are on the side of the road.
People need to slow down; they are going way over the 80 speed limit and are not only a danger to other drivers, hitchhikers, cyclists and pedestrians but to our vulnerable wildlife as well. The speed limit needs to be 60 along these roads to protect everyone.
Drive slowly, please, protect our wildlife from being killed unnecessarily. Let’s all just take it easy on the roads.
