Thanks for the residents’ comments on traffic management issues during roadworks on Old Northern and Wiseman’s Ferry Roads. I was glad to liaise to find a better outcome.
Thanks for the residents’ comments on traffic management issues during roadworks on Old Northern and Wiseman’s Ferry Roads. I am also glad the big pothole on Old Northern Rd has now been repaired.
Council recently approved its Hills Shire Plan for 2024/2025 which outlines councils’ activities and budget for the next twelve months – one of the biggest budgets in this Council’s history. $162.8 million will be spent on infrastructure. I encourage our residents to view this on Council’s website.
Traffic congestion on Annangrove Rd and Kenthurst Rd is increasing and becoming very frustrating. There are several contributing factors to this which are not easy to rectify. This year’s budget sees over $24 million for the widening of Annangrove Rd from Withers Rd to Windsor Road with a signalised intersection at Withers Rd and The Water Lane which will provide better travel for those leaving our Box Hill new release area and onto Windsor Road. However, I acknowledge that there is a lot more to do here. As a council we acknowledge this is a significant issue and are working on resolutions to address this. There are no easy fixes, and this will take time. A complete solution will require considerable funding beyond the means of council. I will speak at greater length on this next month.
I am also continuing the push for the widening and improvements to New Line Road. This road is a key arterial road moving people from the northern parts of The Hills onto Pennant Hills Rd to travel up the coast or onto the M2/M7.
If I can be of any assistance, please let me know. Follow me on Facebook, Instagram or give me a call for more information.
