Since the increase in services provided by the Wimmera Health Care Group and the growth of Horsham Holy Trinity Lutheran College, traffic volume has increased, particularly before and after school.
Of course, many cars going to Horsham Primary School and St Brigid’s College also use our street.
The closure of McBryde Street can only result in a further increase in the volume of traffic in our street as well as surrounding streets such as Smith and Hamilton streets.
Any past attempts to address the situation with Horsham council have fallen on deaf ears, hence it is encouraging to read in the local press that the council is listening and we feel sure that the comments from long-standing residents of the affected area will be treated with appropriate gravity.
As with many other Horsham residents, we stress that we support the concept of a purpose-built sporting complex, however in a location other than the McBryde Street area.
