On 6 February in State Parliament, local MP Bridget Vallence, Member for Evelyn, demanded the Andrews Labor Government commit funding in this year’s State Budget to improve safety along the Warburton Highway Seville East between Peters and Douthie Roads.

Ms Vallence and the local community have been campaigning for over a year for the State Government to fix this dangerous stretch of road.

When Ms Vallence raised community concerns in State Parliament last year, the Minister for Roads (Jaala Pulford) conceded that VicRoads would undertake an engineering assessment, which would be completed by the end of July 2019.

More than half a year later, nothing has changed.

No action has been taken by the Andrews Labor Government and it’s agencies. Motorists are still unable to turn safely to and from their homes, and with start of the school year there is still no safe way for school children to cross from the bus stops.

Ms Vallence demanded the Government release the recommendations made by VicRoads resulting from the engineering assessment, and finally commit adequate funding to make this stretch of Warburton Highway Seville East safer.
