Council officers will speak to kindergarten folk with the view of relieving problems noted at set down and pick up times. This is good.
The other main issues relating to crashes on the big bend at the southern end and suggested remedial action with parking along the north end will have to wait until next year. Council is relying on a 2007 consultants report which believed no action was necessary.
I will be going back to council again sometime in February. Council recognizes that an update with consultation may be necessary so keep new comments coming. I will keep all posted as I go. Any photos that you may have that may be useful would be appreciated. Email them to me keithrdavis@outlook.com Trust my judgement as how best they be used.
Attached is a copy of my original letter.
Has anyone got a vacuum cleaner in reasonable to good working order that they would like to give away to a flat full of male students who would appreciate some extra cleanliness.
If so please contact Michael 528 5861

2. You can find beautiful bevelled mirrors in many op-shops and they often just need a polish. You can tape aluminium foil to the back of the mirror if there are dark spots where the backing has been scraped off.
3. Sand and oil a small wooden bookshelf and use brackets to fix it to the wall to create a handy shelf.
4. Purchase secondhand cushions and re-cover them in an on-trend fabric.
5. Vintage jars and canisters make cute storage solutions. Just clean them up and fill with spices, muesli, nuts, flowers or stationery.

It could be a neighbour who donates time to a sports team in your neighbourhood or someone who brings your bins up the driveway every week. Maybe they’re just really unique; the neighbour who drives that bright pink car or skateboards with the kids to school each day.
Tell us why your neighbour is awesome and you could win one of four $250 Prezzy® cards (plus one for your Awesome Neighbour).
