Kew electorate
Jess WILSON (Kew) (14:51): (1144) My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Minister, when will you commit to urgently repairing the potholes near the Pakington Street tram stop on High Street, Kew? A local resident recently suffered a fractured ankle after stepping into one of these potholes while trying to board a tram. As a result, he has been forced to delay the start of a new job for at least eight weeks. This incident highlights the dangerous condition of this section of High Street, not just for motorists but for pedestrians as well. This is not an isolated case. Across Victoria and across the electorate of Kew road maintenance has been neglected, raising concerns about safety. The community should not have to wait for more accidents before the Labor government finally takes action. Once again I ask: when will the minister take immediate steps to repair these potholes to prevent further harm to local constituents in the electorate of Kew?
