At Monday nights Council Meeting we were hoping to have the following question answered which had been submitted via email:
“On the 22nd.APRIL 2021 – the Warrnambool Standard reported that residents were being asked to have their say on CBD traffic and roundabouts on the Councils “Your say Warrnambool” site, Council stated that the results would be relayed to the community.
1. When will the results be released to community?
2. With 12 months having elapsed why has it taken so long?”
Response from the C.E.O – Mr. Peter Schneider
I would advise that Council engaged an engineering consultant to undertake a traffic impact assessment on the CBD Traffic Movements also. This work was delayed on multiple occasions due to pandemic restrictions. The work has recommenced and further pedestrian surveys have been completed (both during the weekdays and on a weekend) and it is intended that the results of the investigation will be presented to Council early in the new financial year.
This did not answer the question asked and related to totally different report.
When clarification was requested as the asked question had not been answered, this was the response from the Mayor Richard Ziegeler.
” NO, THAT’S IT! THE QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED AND ANSWERED” as he slammed the gavel down, surely ratepayers deserve more…..
