Dear Anthony,

Council has received an email received from a resident of Holdfast Bay with respect to the subsided Telstra pit adjacent the pedestrian pram ramp at the corner of Anzac Highway and Grove Street, Glenelg East.

Attached is a copy of the photo detailing the area of concern for your reference.

Given that this presents an immediate hazard to cyclists and pedestrian, can you please ensure that Telstra staff inspect and organise necessary works as soon as possible.

Many Thanks



Kind Regards

Ben Wright

Coroner calls on State Government to provide extra funding for safe shared pathways

FROM
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,23516990-2862,00.html

April 10, 2008 02:40pm
A DITCH on a Melbourne bike path was a "hidden trap" that directly
contributed to the death of a cyclist, a coroner has found.

Robert Graham, 55, broke his neck and subsequently died after hitting
a culvert and being flung over the handlebars of his bicycle on a
popular bike track in Melbourne's north on February 27, 2007.

The impact severed his spinal chord and paralysed him from the neck down.

He died on March 2 last year after agreeing to have his life support
at the Austin Hospital switched off.

Coroner Dyson Hore-Lacy today found that the culvert was a "classic,
hidden trap" and that the local Nillumbik Shire Council had a duty of
care to maintain the bike path.

The culvert "caused Mr Graham's fall and contributed to his death," Mr
Hore-Lacy said in his finding.

Mr Hore-Lacy delivered two key recommendations in his finding.

He called on the Victorian government to consider providing extra
funding to local councils to allow them to maintain and develop safe
shared pathways.

He also recommended the government undertake a review of Australian
standards and guidelines relevant to Victoria for shared pathways.

Ben (Cc mail@holdfast.sa.gov.au)

I left a message this week on your phone in regards to two hazards
that you replied to on 26 Feb (Scott and Oleandar streets).

Your email stated they were the care and concern of SA Water.

SA Water have suggested the hazard is the responsibility of the council.

I would prefer to speak to you about these two hazards (Trim 08/7220
and Trim 08/7221) before raising this to an "Issue" level at
http://roadrepair.wikispaces.com/issues+-+south+australia



By CC to mail@holdfast.sa.gov.au

Please advise me if Ben Wright is absent and there is an expected
delay in his response.

Dear Administrator Road Repair,

Thank you for your email regarding the inspection covers in Scott Street and Oleander Street, South Brighton that in your opinion present a road hazard to cyclists.

This infrastructure is under the care of control of SA Water and/or its contractors United Water.

I would encourage you again to raise your concerns with the parties mentioned above.


Kind Regards

Ben Wright

Manager Works & Services
