 Richard RIORDAN (Polwarth) (14:50): (1391) My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. My question is: Minister, will safety guardrails be installed at ‘crash corner’ in Barwon Downs before Christmas? This corner is notorious for over 40-odd accidents in the last few years, but worst of all, the accidents occur in the front yards of the locals living on that corner. Andrew Pearson, a local resident and father of a family that lives on the corner there, every day, every night, every long weekend and every holiday season lives in fear for the fact of a car coming through the front of their home. They have had cars upturned in their front driveway, cars upturned in their backyard, cars through the fence. They are currently working through yet another expensive fence replacement. It is simply not good enough. Minister, you have committed to the people of Polwarth and to me on numerous occasions now that this corner would be fixed. It is still not fixed. It must be fixed before this holiday season.
