According to
research from the Bureau of Infrastructure and Regional Development,
Queensland road fatalities rose from 223 deaths in 2014 to 242 deaths in 2015.
This reversed a three-year trend in which the number of national road
fatalities had been declining.
Our Neighbourhood
Watch has just taken delivery of 30 wheelie bin stickers depicting life size
children. The stickers, from the Australian Road Safety Foundation, have been
designed to provide a real-time reminder to motorists to reduce their speed.
In the weeks ahead we’ll belooking for new homes for these wheelie bin stickers and would liketo hear from local residents who may be able to help.
Areas of interest are Michigan Dr, California Dr, Riversdale Rd, Regatta
Avenue and Graywillow Blvrd. In particular we
are hoping to hear from families that live near an Oxenford Day Care centre,
Kindy or the State School or who are located near a playground or bus
stop.
If you could
display one of these stickers on your wheelie bin, please contact us via oxenfordnhw@email.com
and please let us know your location. One of our committee members will
personally come to your home on a Monday (bin day) and affix the sticker for
you. We have 4 designs – of both boys and girls.
