Members of the public have been increasingly telling me that there are certain areas of our town that no longer feel as safe as they once did. I welcome you to provide me with any specific concerns or experiences you may have, please email me at jenny.crawley@pointrussell.gov.au
In our community, we have a large number of cycling groups that are also keen on extending our bike path network to allow others to enjoy the natural beauty of our towns, and position Point Russell as a health-tourism destination. I'd love your thoughts on the matter.
