Re: ‘Levy users’ to fix risky Wyndham rail crossings (Weekly, October 2):
As usual, the culprits for this suggestion that we pay for it are those who hide behind the Committee for Wyndham, whatever that pretends to be. Why didn’t they think to find a solution for the deadly Cherry Street crossing before now? The new Bunnings store should have been a new station with a walkover to the car park. Why did they not lobby for multi-storey car park at Werribee? I believe the new Williams Landing station will have inadequate parking as well – what have they got to say about that? I think it is just an old boys club.

It’s always the user that ends up paying. If the government pays for it, then we will surely end up paying for the upgrades anyway. I’m moving out of Hoppers Crossing before it’s too late. Let someone else fight the traffic, I’m selling up and moving to the country. George David (via web)
Re: Glen Devon site ignites asbestos, fire fears (Weekly, September 25):
For goodness sake, just do something with it already! The place is a disgusting eyesore. Why is it left to rot, collect asbestos and attract squatters for so long? Just knock it down completely if you have to. It’s an ugly embarrassment to this town.

Re: Wyndham council election draws 46 hopefuls (Weekly, September 25)
As a resident living on ‘this’ side of the freeway I can see how things are stacking up. We have Cr Fairclough living in Point Cook, Cr Hegedich who has changed ward because her business is in Point Cook and Bernard Reilly, the ex-Point Cook Action Group President. There is more to the Harrison ward than just Point Cook. Williams Landing, Hoppers, Truganina and Laverton need a strong voice too . . .Glenn Goodfellow has my vote again. HpsCross 1 (via web)
