Hazard ReportingDon't forget to keep reporting hazards when you find them it is the only way that the relevant authorities know there is a problem and the most effective way of getting it fixed. In March, glass hazards made up almost half of the reports, but the number has been dropping steadily until now glass appears to comprise just over a quarter of all hazards. Is this because there is less glass around; because the authorities have become much more efficient in removing hazards before they affect users; or because we have become complacent and are reporting less? My money is on the latter Send an e-mail describing the hazard, and its location (and perhaps a digital photo), and your contact details to Cycling@dpi.wa.gov.au (and a copy to BTA_WA@hotmail.com) or use the web hazard report form at http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/cycling/2345.asp For more information, contact Bruce Robinson 9384-7409 0427 398 708 Bruce.Robinson@Westnet.com.au |
