Active transport

On 3 June it is World Bicycle Day, a great reminder of how supporting cycling and alternative modes of transport can transform cities and communities.

The Government continues to ignore the calls from parents and the Petersham Public School community for upgrades to the West Street and Railway Terrace intersection. 

The community at our local schools have had enough of the lack of concern for students on their way to school and the severely insufficient safety measures currently in place.

NSW Labor will commit $700,000 to support Dungog become a world-class biking destination and boost tourism across the Upper Hunter.

National Walk Safely to School Day raises awareness about the benefits of walking to school.

Despite the decrease in commuters as a result of the pandemic bicycle and scooter users are struggling to find spaces to safely store their devices at train stations across the Central Coast.

I congratulate the Bicycle Network and all the students, families and schools that took part in National Ride2School Day.

Cities across the world are rushing to regulate e‑scooters and incorporate them into their transport mix. But what are we doing here? Nothing, because apparently the transport Minister is not in the mood to do anything about them.

Notes the dangerous intersection of West Street and Railway Parade, Petersham, and the safety risks to students travelling to and from Petersham Public School each day.
