Council Desperation

These two photos show the lengths that some Councils are going to in an attempt to protect school children in their area. The phone number on the trailer is that of Bankstown City Council.

From my email inbox

I thought that I'd let you know what the Bankstown City Council are doing to raise driver awareness around the Padstow Park Public School in Faraday Rd Padstow. Please find attached, a photo of their version of the "flashing sign". This week it is in the westbound direction (facing Revesby) and last week, the eastbound direction. Last time it was there about 5 months ago, I think it was the RTA who put it there as there was no "Bankstown City" signs on it, and it was immediately removed, ( i.e. same day, and before the afternoon zone's time) after I rang in to let Mike Carlton know it was there, in response to a number of calls about such signs being needed on the Northern Beaches. I suggested that Padstow was "Labor heartland" and that the Northern Beaches should expect the same level "of service".

Thanks David

I think it would be cheaper to have flashing lights on the school zone signs, but untill the RTA get's it act together........

    Four months and 21 pages of how drivers have been treated by the RTA, lawyers, ministers, courts, or how they have been ignored after being fined at the Beverly Hills speed camera trap.

    The premier Mr Iemma made this speech at the swearing in of the new police commissoner.(Daily Telegraph 4/10/07)

    "POLICING IS ABOUT THE EXCERCISING THE POWER AND AUTHORITY IN A DEMOCRACY, IT'S ALSO ABOUT DETERMINING THE LIMITS OF THAT POWER,AND INSURING THERE IS JUSTICE."
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    IS THERE JUSTICE HAPPENING AT BEVERLY HILLS?
