BAYSIDE: After 10 years, Brighton crossings get OK
Ten years of advocacy for pedestrian crossings in Brighton have finally paid off, according to local MLA James Newbury (pictured).
“After years of community advocacy the State and Federal Governments have agreed to jointly fund pedestrian safety infrastructure in Dendy Village and Hampton St,” Mr Newbury told Parliament.
“The village is a busy thoroughfare. Currently there is no pedestrian crossing and the site is unsafe.
“After almost a decade of calling for action, a proper pedestrian crossing will be installed.
“This is a win for our community. I must say a huge thankyou to Debbie and Theo from Fresh Connection for their incredible work on making this happen.
“Community wins like this only happen
because of wonderful community-minded people like Debbie, Theo and the many thousands of people who signed our petition and called for the crossing.
“Thank you again to everyone who helped make this happen,” Mr Newbury said
