It's amazing how many emails
we recieve each week from
locals and visitors alike, who
want to air their opinion on
what's happening around
them.
We add many of them to this
page so, if you have an opion
or comment, send it to us and
you might just see it here!
Here's what the locals are talking about:
I think it would be a great idea to close
Hibberson street to traffic. There could be
a pedestrian mall which would really liven
up the area.
Jodie, Palmerston.
I am so sick of the graffiti all over the
place - it makes Gungahlin look dirty and
tacky. I think people who get caught doing
this should be 'named and shamed'.
Perhaps in the Chronicle or even this
website.
Olivia, Ngunnawal.
The Town Centre area is too crowded
already, but keeping cars out could help.
Rob, Amaroo.
Get to see this website back again - it is a
must visit for locals - I'll help spread the
word.
Kate, Ngunnawal
Re: Hibberson Street - possible
closure to cars:
Brilliant idea! It's such busy street and
difficult to negotiate for both cars and
pedestrians. Should've been done years
ago for the safety of everyone. It would
also provide a safe place for Christmas
parades, perhaps an annual gungahlin
festival? The possibilities are endless.
Also in regards to concerns about on
street parking for the shops on hibberson
- there are so few parks available to the
general public (mostly loading zones, taxi
ranks instead) and those that are are
ALWAYS filled, not many people would
be worse off in any case.
Also closing in and maybe putting some
sort of roof over top could help draw the
outlying businesses more into the flow of
pedestrian traffic and create an outdoor
'mall' style shopping centre which would
be more connected than the current
arrangment.
