Trail repairs required ■ Details around the plans to rebuild the O’Shannassy Aqueduct Trail Trestle Bridge in Millgrove remain unknown, two years after being told that plans were being developed. Speaking in Parliament, Eildon MLA Cindy McLeish again called on the Minister to share design plans for the trestle bridge with the community and provide a time frame for
the completion of repair works. Ms McLeish said, “This key piece of tourism infrastructure has been closed for well over two years surely it can’t take that long to develop a plan. Locals are questioning when and if this bridge repair will actually occur.” “This timeframe provided is flimsy at best. The community deserves clarity.”
LOCAL MP DENIES ASSAULT CLAIMS
■ Ringwood MLA Will Fowles denies allegations that he sexuall;y assaulted a State Parliamentary staffer. He believes that his resignation from the Labor Party is temporary. “I strenuosly deny any allegation of assault. It is not true. There was no assault,” Mr Fowles said in a statement, published on Facebook. “I was asked to stand aside as a member of the Parliamentary Labor Party, a situation I expect will be temporary. “I will fully co-operate with any process or enquiries. I will not be making any further comment until such time as I am cleared.”
