Janelle Saffin, Labor MP for Page continues to keep her word to the North Coast community that she will stay closely involved with local concerns.
The Northern Star article yesterday:
Ms Denny has serious concerns for the stretch of Pacific Highway between the NSW Mid-North Coast and Far North Coast.
Nine people have died on this section of highway since June this year, and Ms Denny would like it to be part of a pilot study on how effective the hotline could be in reducing deaths on the 18,000 kilometres of roads in NSW.
Federal Page MP Janelle Saffin has given her support to the hotline initiative. She has delivered Ms Denny's discussion paper to Federal Transport Minister Anthony Albanese.
"It's about improving safety on the roads; this targets our behaviour," she said.
Ballina MP Don Page has shown his support by writing to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau and the National Transport Commission.
"There is merit in the general concept of more eyes on the road," he said.
For all those travelling on NSW North Coast roads who find themselves concerned about the behaviour of some heavy vehicle traffic or fellow drivers, Ms. Denny's website is COASTtoCOAST100.
