"An Election Message for Box Hill North and Balwyn North Voters" - from Friends of Banyule

Local residents will have received a flyer in their letterboxes from the Friends of Banyule (a community organisation with similar concerns regarding freeway-related issues).

Entitled "An Election Message for Box Hill North and Balwyn North Voters", it provides interesting insights into relevant issues for the upcoming state election. (Don't forget to vote on Saturday 27 November 2010).

If you didn't receive the flyer, it can be viewed here.

[From Mary of BNFNG:

Please note that this leaflet was not produced in consultation with the BNFNG, so please direct any queries to those mentioned in the leaflet.

Although members of our community may be members of Friends of Banyule and support the main content of the leaflet, BNFNG's focus is purely on alleviating the freeway noise and pollution currently experienced in the Balwyn North community.

We have no political affiliations, we seek a consistent state policy for the benefit of all communities.

With regard to the rail to Doncaster, BNFNG has had no discussions to formulate a community view - however, I foresee concern that there is insufficient room in the freeway reserve for either the rail extension or the North East Link. This has implications for our Koonung Creek reserve.]
