Small park improvements

Small parks across Port Melbourne are being upgraded with a range of small treatments that are making a big difference.

This new seating wall in the park at Derham/Farrell lifts the appearance of this space.

Police act on safety

• 24 drivers in a 6 hour period were apprehended by Police for driving while using mobiles (not hands free) in the vicinity of the Port Melbourne Town Hall in March.
  
• 3 drivers in 30 minutes were apprehended for speeding for travelling 15 kph above the speed limit on the Plummer St bypass.

These figures were presented to the Road Safe Inner Melbourne Committee on which I am the City of Port Phillip representative.

'Seeds of a good idea'

Beautiful feature on community gardens including the Simply Living Garden at Bridge St Uniting Church in today's Age:

'Anyone is welcome to pick from the garden, but encouraged to take only as much as they need.'

I was appalled to read of the knife attack on a Canadian at Graham Station yesterday in the Age.
