Avonhead people have now joined the ever-growing queue of people wanting the city council to do something about the issue. Residents say since the closure of the Avonhead and Russley Rd intersection in November 2015, heavy vehicles are taking short cuts from Roydvale Ave, Hawthornden Rd and Cutts Rd. Hawthornden Rd resident Jon Leadbeater said the increased heavy vehicles made the area unsafe. “I’m worried about the safety of the pedestrians and the children in the area because it’s a narrow road.” It follows on from residents in Fendalton and Wigram also voicing opposition to heavy vehicles going through residential areas. Lady Wigram Retirement Village residents on Lodestar Ave complained about heavy traffic last year. Fendalton residents last month lost their bid to ban heavy vehicles from the Glandovey and Idris Rd intersection. •Turn to page 5 SAFETY CONCERNS: Hawthornden Rd resident Jon Leadbeater believes heavy vehicles are using the route as a short cut since the closure of the Avonhead and Russley Rd intersection.
