CONCERN OVER SOLDIERS ROAD
■ Michael Galea, South-Eastern Metropolitan MLC, has raised concerns about the significantly worsening traffic situation at the corner of Soldiers Rd and Thompsons Rd. Mr Galea told State Parliament that Clyde North residents had raised issues on these two roads, “which are completely no longer fit for purpose in what is a fast growing area”. “I note that as the manager of these roads Casey Council is undergoing the process of extending Bells Rd through to Thompsons Rd, which will significantly address and fix this situation. “However, I share the residents’ concerns that those works by Council have been delayed. I have reached out to Council, and I am looking forward to continuing to have productive conversations with Council about how we can get this project done as quickly as possible. “As a user of the roads in the area myself, I know firsthand how much of a traffic nightmare the intersection of Soldiers Rd and Thompsons Rd has become,” Mr Galea said.

● Michael Galea MLC
● David Limbrick MLC
■ South Eastern Metropolitan MLC David Limbrick has used State Parliament to deliver a blast about Victoria Police members. Mr Limbrick criticised the request of Police to scores of young men were seen riding bikes together through the CBD. “However, they were not the hotheads, the hotheads were the police. They seemed to be furious that these young men were out having a good time with their mates without authorisation,” Mr Limbrick said. “You know you have an attitude problem when a boy is telling you to calm down. However, this is exactly what happened to Victoria Police. “These young men were also not the reprobates. The reprobates were the people on social media who tried to claim they were blocking traffic, as if these boys were not worthy of being traffic, and those who worried about what they believed, as if we need to know what someone thinks before they can appear in public,” Mr Limbrick said.

Rye Pier re-opens
■ Rye Pier has re-opened, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has announced. “After months of anticipation and dedicated work by Parks Vic, the iconic pier has been beautifully restored and is now ready to welcome visitors again,” a Council representative said. “The restoration has revived the pier's historic charm and introduced several exciting new features. “Among the highlights are the interpretive signs installed along the pier, which showcase the area's rich marine life. “These signs provide fascinating information about the local sea creatures, making your visit enjoyable and educational.” New benches crafted by the Point Nepean Men's Shed have been strategically placed along the pier. “These benches offer perfect spots to sit and take in the breathtaking views of the coastline, making your visit even more relaxing and enjoyable. Parks Vic's commitment to preserving and enhancing this beloved landmark has paid off. “The upgraded pier maintains its historic significance and offers a modern, engaging experience for visitors of all ages,” the Council representative said.
