Bill Yeomans and other Currawong Street residents have complained to the council, but Mr Yeomans says so far there has not been a reasonable solution to his complaint.

Councillor Rita O'Connor said she would bring the issue up at the next ordinary council meeting.

"As a new councillor I was not aware of the issues, but I have contacted both the mayor and general manager and made enquiries," she said.

"I have requested a report be prepared for councillors, hopefully, to be presented at the next council meeting.

"The safety of children is an issue I would never ignore. Hopefully, the issue will be resolved soon."

Councillor Greg Armstrong said the former Young Shire Council Traffic Committee did research the problem.

The former Young Shire Council Traffic Committee recommend to Young Shire Council that some modification of load limit restrictions was warranted to assist in improving heavy traffic flow," he said.

"Subsequent analysis of actual traffic counter data identified that the greatest use was by light vehicles rather than heavy vehicles such as B-Doubles, so the Council requested that its staff use alternate routes to and from the Glensloy Street works depot. 

"I have asked the general manager that the matter of load limits and heavy traffic movements in the area and traffic generally moving in a north to west and return direction,  be re-examined and referred to the Hilltops Council Traffic Committee for review. 

"Hopefully we can find a solution that is acceptable to both residents and road-users."

Mr Yeomans said Currawong Street residents would like to thank the Councilors for acknowledging the traffic issues in Currawong and Miro Streets, and thank the Young Witness for bringing it to their attention.

"It’s a constant worry for residents in narrow streets, that it will take a serious accident or even a death before action would be taken," he said.

"Our residential streets were never designed for the current amount of traffic, nor the type of traffic we are now encountering. These are quiet residential streets, we have children playing ball, riding bikes, scooters and skateboards in the streets, those living here know the kids and where they play, but large trucks, bypassing the Woolies roundabout do not.

"Now the Council knows of our concerns, I hope they can see their way clear to make some traffic flow changes because if anything happens now, it would be hard for any councillor to say they didn’t know there was a problem."
