 Richard WELCH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:55): (1453) My constituency matter is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Findon Road in the suburbs of Mill Park and Epping in my electorate is a confusing sort of road; sometimes it is duplicated with two lanes, sometimes it is a single lane, and locals spend considerable time every single day in gridlock along Findon Road. This is a very well known local issue and a daily point of pain for my community. The local member does nothing, perhaps because she does not live in the electorate and does not have to use the road. The road funding has undoubtedly been cut. But I ask the minister: could you please finally designate Findon Road as a state arterial road, as it should be, and get on with duplicating the road in its entirety so my constituents can get to and from work and back to their families faster and safer every day?
