Bridge Safety

Do you use the pedestrian/bike bridge over the Merri Creek between Bell St and Connolly Ave, Coburg? (Melways  18A12).

Beware of motorbikes using this bridge illegally at high speed. This is very dangerous. An accident on the bridge could be catastrophic.

Fawkner police have this problem on their watch list. Please notify them on 9355 6000 if you to can supply exact times, registration numbers or a photo.

Thank you for helping.

Be Safe in Preston

ATTENTION! Last night in Preston two women were pursued by a PROWLER late at night! One of these woman was DRAGGED INTO A CAR and fought back and was able to escape. The other was a close freind of mine and was warned by a passer by that she was being followed calculatingly by someone. This prowler was driving a green Barina. I would like firstly to warn people about this and to plead that people be extra cautious about a car fitting that description and to take down the number plates of a smallish green car as this information could possibly SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE! I also want to say that there is somthing we can do to make our community safer. If you see somthing that feels wrong or looks suspicious DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. If that means approaching someone or taking a minute to observe or to keep an eye on that person or create a diversion or make a phone call it could make a very big difference. Your instincts are usually right. We all have a responsability to ourselves and each other. I THINK THE MEN IN OUR COMMUNITY ESPECIALLY have this responsability. Lets keep our neighbourhood safe. If you live in Preston or the surrounding suburbs or know somebody who does please share this.
