WHILST travelling back to the city from Prospect Market Place on December 8, the volume of traffic flowing to Westbury Road at 8.40am must give Meander Valley Council concern over the proposed changes to traffic management, Westbury Road and Wellington Street by the Launceston City Council.
This amount of traffic has to return at the end of the day coupled with Metro bus services travelling to and from.
Parents of students attending St Patrick's College realise the traffic problems going and coming from the college and inherent danger.
Whilst the parents who wish their children to have a private secondary education have a choice, send them to other private schools, i.e Mowbray or Newstead to avoid the traffic delays that will occur if these alterations take place (remember Normanstone Road and its failure).
Students doing years 11 and 12 have the choice of the other private schools or Newstead or Launceston colleges.
The all out election at the last council election has left a lack of experience, which long-serving alderman could have advised on.
Launceston City Council has a fight on its hands in the Northern suburbs over moving the university from open space to a congested space at Inveresk.
Blind Freddy would be aware not to open another war on the western front of the city and adjoining municipality.
West Launceston residents missed out on the missing link in Granville Street out of the Bi-Centenary levy and now the only solution is a bridge from Peel Street to Westbury Road.
