Re: Melton Waves ‘filthy’, say residents (Weekly, March 25):
I strongly disagree. I believe that if people weren’t so filthy and cleaned up after themselves the leisure centre wouldn’t be claimed to be so unhygienic. As for overflowing bins — that is Melton Council’s job to be emptying them.

This is a violent animal that has attacked at least five people. If it was a dog, it would have been destroyed years ago. Cr [Tonia] Dudzik has no idea and if she lived near this nightmare maybe she would get it right.

Piping up for VicRoads
We would like to congratulate VicRoads and its staff involved in the completion of Calder roadworks at the Organ Pipes Road junction.
It was completed on the target date specified and now provides a much safer facility for road users on the Calder from Sunbury and further north, as well as access for those from Hillside and the growing Brimbank suburbs.
Drivers will no longer have to risk an illegal U-turn to get to Melbourne from the west. But both federal and state governments are yet to commit to the major improvement that we have canvassed for so long on behalf of road user safety.
The ineffective 80km/h speed limit over so much of the so-called freeway will remain until a major project is undertaken. The moderately costed Calder Park Drive overpass will remove one of the serious safety hazards remaining on this section and allow full freeway standard driving.
We seek strong community support for a bipartisan government commitment to take up this project, which promises the same efficient delivery we have just seen. The community needs to see this project funded at the earliest opportunity.
Ian Sutherland, president, Calder Action Group
