COMMUTER CAR PARK PLANS (Weekly, March 12)
■ If only someone had the foresight to plan for multi-level parking for Williams Landing train station.
I understand that there is a budget, but insufficient parking will deter people from using the trains into the city. That will make building the station and trying to ease traffic woes a wasted effort.

RAIL PLAN SLAMMED (Weekly, March 19)
■ I may be cynical, but having lived in Werribee all my life, I have come to one conclusion. We get very little done because we are a safe Labor seat.
The Coalition will do nothing, because it can’t win the seat. Labor won’t do anything because it is basically guaranteed the seat. Labor complains about the Coalition not doing much, yet when it was in for the 10 years before that, it did very little in the way of public transport either. Both parties have had ample time and opportunity to fix public transport in one of the fastest-growing municipalities, yet not much has happened.
They both still let land developers develop estates and not lay road infrastructure first.
You have four or five companies developing and selling sections of land on their own schedule, building roads as needed and, at times, no connection between them until final land parcels are sold.
By the time the estates are complete, everyone has two cars and no need for the buses that usually come in late because of this.
Both sides love to play the blame game, when they themselves could have done more.

NEW ESTATES FOR POINT COOK, TARNEIT (Weekly, March 19)
■ Great. More people, less jobs and still no road infrastructure to cater for thousands of new people.
I thought Wyndham council decided to cease population growth until the state government started funding vital infrastructure here?

WYNDHAM LEADS STATE IN SOLAR SWITCH (Weekly, March 19)
■ We installed 22 solar panels a year ago. That has reduced our power bill from more than $800 before solar to only $23 this bill. They have already paid for themselves!
