Safer
Citizens
At
our last meeting, we had Mr Tony Giggs from the City of Wanneroo
give a presentation of the Safer Citizens programme and how we need
to be a part of it if we wish it to be a success.
He had to field several hard questions on the operation of
the programme. One of
the areas he covered was getting the public to get out and use
(RECLAIM) our public open spaces.
They can also come and advise you on matters of security.
I have fridge magnets with the Council after hours and Police
Communications numbers. They
were delivered in the post but if you missed yours leave your
address on my answering machine and I’ll drop one around.
REMEMBER
THE AFTER HOURS NUMBER ON YOUR FRIDGE MAGNET – 1300 138 393

THE
ABORIGINAL TIMES
We

MINISTRY
OF TRANSPORT FUNDING
The
following funds were made available to the City of Wanneroo for
refurbishment projects. Hudson
Ave, $59,976, Amberton Ave, $77,623 and Butterworth Ave, $59,589
which will represent about 10% of the cost of the work.
NANKIVELL WAY PUBLIC ACCESSWAY (P.A.W.) VIRTUAL CLOSURE
Those
of you who live in the street will notice the 6 fences going up in
the accessway. The
Telstra cable makes it impossible to close so the Council has
decided to reticulate and landscape the lane between the fences.
We hope the extra traffic in the south P.A.W. will make it
safer as well. If this trial is successful, other accessways may be closed
too. A great idea as it
can easily be put back if required.
