I have lived in Delahey for over 30 years and it’s been a great area to live in. Over the years there have been new suburbs and developments in the West of the city of Brimbank and in the City of Melton area.
Unfortunately with the new suburbs there also needs to be the infrastructure to go with it as the population dramatically increases. Roads and public transport but not exclusive are a big part of infrastructure requirements that have clearly been overlooked and neglected in regards to Taylors Road.
I regularly use Copperfield drive towards Taylors Road. There is a set of traffic lights there to allow residents from Delahey to enter Taylors Road. The Huge increase in the bumper to bumper traffic on Taylors Road has lead to NOT been able to enter Taylors road during peak times.
I’ve had to wait for 6 sets of traffic lights to enter Taylors road at times as the road is completely congested. I feel imprisoned in my suburb and now try to avoid peak hour traffic at all cost.
Shame on the State Labor Government for a neglect of Infrastructure in the North West of Melbourne. People keep voting for the labor government in the North West Melbourne area, we get nothing and totally dismissed.
Maybe it’s time people seek alternative Government options and send the government a clear message that we are NOT happy with their neglect of our area.
There is an upcoming state election and the Labor Government need to be accountable for their NEGLECT. Maybe the Government opposition may be more forthcoming in addressing this critical issue and make a binding commitment to addressing this problem.
Thank you for Lobbying the State Labor Government for this critical connection to infrastructure in widening Taylors Road in our area. I hope the State Government takes our concerns seriously.
