A new roundabout for dangerous black spot in Croydon

31 july to 14 August 2014
Better
access to
Croydon
Station
After eight years of fghting for better
access to Croydon Station, I am
pleased to advise that major upgrades
have been announced including a
new concourse and three lifts at
the station.
As someone who has lived in Croydon
my whole life, I know how important
better access to our train station is for
seniors, parents with prams, and those
with a disability.
Mayor Faker speaks with a resident
at Fitzroy St
Pedestrians and motorists driving through Croydon
will have a safer route on their way to work or
school with the construction of a new roundabout
at the Brady and Fitzroy Street intersection.
The new roundabout is scheduled to be complete
by mid 2015 and is partially funded under the
Federal Black Spot programme which aims to
increase safety at busy intersections.
Celebrate 20 years of the Burwood Lions Club
I would like to thank local residents
who signed our petition and helped us
lobby the State Government for these
much needed upgrades. This victory
would not have been possible without
your help.
While we have achieved a lot, our fght
is not yet over. We need these longoverdue improvements as soon as
possible. The Minister for Transport
needs to confrm a date for the start of
the major upgrades so that this does
not become a just another broken
election promise.
I will fght for the local community
to be consulted on all aspects of the
proposal to ensure that it is in keeping
with the heritage character of The
Strand and Malvern Hill estate.
