We are a family with young children who have lived in Clifton Springs for over 10 years. We absolutely love it here, the community, surroundings and the amenities. The only thing letting us down is the lack of footpaths. We live within a 15 minute walk to our children’s kinder and childcare, but it is difficult to walk there due to no safe pedestrian access.
Walking on the nature strip is a hazard for my children, it is difficult to push the pram through the grass and navigate around parked cars and other obstacles. We often see parents walking with prams and dogs on the road, as well as children walking and riding to school and are concerned for their safety.
As our area gets busier each year, it makes it more difficult to navigate around the town safely on the roads. Having footpaths in our community would have a positive impact on our daily life and promote a more active lifestyle for our children and ourselves.
Kind regards
Monica & Len Phillips
