On Monday 11 May, The MCA exec met with the Yass Valley Council Executive team for our quarterly catchup.
It was once a very productive meeting with topics such as the rec grounds, Field Days and Barton Highway pedestrian crossing discussed.
Other points raised include :
>The need for more recreational space in Murrumbateman, and the urgency for the Masterplan to be accelerated as much as possible so that a suitable area in the Hawthorn land area can be released asap.
>Rose Street safety. We discussed ways to improve safety for school children, pedestrians , cyclists and cars in Rose Street. Some very good ideas arose from these discussions and we hope to see progress towards a dedicated crossing and installing a footpath between North Street and Hercules Street to link the school/shops/daycare/preschool to the Hercules St shops/school bus stop/playground. Watch this space!
Our next meeting with Council will be in August. If you have any points you would like to raise, please let the exec team know.
