Thank you councillors from Suffolk Park, Broken Head and the wider community.
I am writing to express the community’s gratitude towards our nine councillors. The community was loud and clear and we have been heard.
The hot topic of traffic lights has been addressed by way of a new unanimous council resolution seeking a variation on the scope of works from the Shire’s first traffic lights to a roundabout to resolve the Clifford Street intersection dangers, and congestion. Interestingly this is what all councillors had previously agreed would be a superior ‘future outcome’ to aim for once the lights failed.
The ‘opportunity’ created by staff in applying for and receiving a $2.3m grant now has a good chance of being used to bring an excellent outcome for the community.
This revised motion is a win for councillors and the whole community. We are edging closer to a lasting solution for Suffolk Park.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
