Can't we do it properly? Fix the roads around Minmi

From Minmi to Fletcher, Maryland and Wallsend, people already complain about inadequate road access. Picture by Simone De Peak

Ten thousand people will move into a mammoth new residential development stretching from Minmi to Edgeworth, and the state government and councils think the roads will cope with a bit of nip-and-tuck.

So the plan is for just a new set of traffic lights here, a roundabout there, and, on a couple of roads, a slap of paint for new lane markings. Heaven forbid that the authorities should actually construct new major roads for this surge in population and to prepare for more people later.
