‘Desperate’ need By Corey Everitt A council candidate has called for more attention to be put toward the safety of local walkers and cyclists, promising to campaign for a review of Cardinia’s footpaths and bike paths if elected. Henty Ward candidate Liz Roberts has said
Cardinia Shire Council’s strategy around active transport ‘desperately needs a review’. The Cardinia Shire Pedestrian and Bicycle Strategy was instituted seven years ago and Roberts has pledged to campaign for an update. “In Henty Ward so many people rely on walking as their transport – to get to the train, to get to
the shops and to walk to kindergarten or school,” she said. “Walking and cycling are the forms of transport many people use if they don’t have access to a car or a bus stop nearby or if they simply live a short distance from services. They need to be given the respect they deserve.
“When elected as Henty Ward councillor I’ll be pushing for this to happen.” This was raised only a month after the council announced a pause to Main Street’s long-awaited revamp which would have seen an update to its many paths and crossings. Continued page 4
