What evidence that Grey St was dangerous?

1 min read

Well done Trish Atkins. 

Grey St is narrow now, plus the speed humps - well, the one at Childers/Grey St roundabout stops traffic at the roundabout because cars are cautious about scraping the bottom of their cars. Roundabouts were put in to keep traffic flowing, not to cause congestion. 

It’s interesting reading comments about Grey St and how a lot of people aren’t happy, especially business people in the area. 

Question - who came up with the idea that Grey St was dangerous, and what statistics do they have that children have been injured? 

Back in the 1960s Grey St was a road with thriving businesses and the then skating rink (now skate park ) was full of children and adults - so how come Grey St wasn’t dangerous back then? 

I would also like to know is what happens after a year - does the council spend more money to rip it all out, or do they hope that everyone will forget by then?
