Protesters out in force over Griggs Creek proposed bridge

The Geelong Advertiser reports today (12 September 2011) that hundreds of protesters turned out on Sunday 11 September to protest the proposed bridge over Griggs Creek to link Bayshore Ave with the Jetty Road development

"... About 200 locals banded together in a show of solidarity  with many donning red  to protest a planned bridge at Griggs Creek which would link Bayshore Ave with the Jetty Rd housing development.

Drysdale-Clifton Springs Community Association secretary Patrick Hughes said the bridge would have a huge impact on the locals as heavy construction traffic streamed through to build houses at the 310-acre development..."

"People don't want the bridge, people don't need the bridge, and it's a total contradiction of council policy," Mr Hughes said...
