Time to call on the Minister for Infrastructure re traffic speeds at Caldew Park

You probably heard the excellent news that Hobart City Council strongly approved Alderman Anna Reynolds' motion to urge the State Government to reduce the speed limit on the roads surrounding Caldew Park (the train park).  In fact, Lord Mayor Sue Hickey was keen to add her voice personally to the issue.  This is a very strong endorsement of our position, which is great news.

The Council has now sent its formal letter to Rene Hidding, the Minister for Infrastructure, for consideration by the Dept of State Growth.  The full letter is available here.  It contains additional data and useful arguments.

It is time now for as many people as possible to contact the Minister and other Members of the House of Assembly for Denison, to apply as much pressure as possible for a positive response to the Council's approach.

PLEASE WRITE A LETTER OR EMAIL OR MAKE A PHONE CALL THIS WEEK.

Ask the Minister or your MP to support the speed limit reduction, and offer to meet them onsite so that you can show them the issues of concern.
