MP airs Penola bypass doubts
Posted
Greens' MP Mark Parnell says the current $15 million bypass proposal for Penola will not reduce the number of trucks driving down the main street every day.
He says with the South Australian Government only providing funding for the southern section, only half a bypass will be built, rendering it useless to the people of the town.
Mr Parnell says a new, more effective plan is needed.
"What the Government needs to do is talk to the community about the best location for the bypass and make sure that, when it is built, it's a bypass that actually bypasses the town so those 550 trucks no longer clog up the streets of Penola," he said.
