CTA Campaign Against Broken Glass

As mentioned before,(see article on broken glass and bottle deposits) please offer your support for Government moves for a container deposit scheme (example draft letter) to reduce the amount of lacerating container debris. Together we can help counter the industry campaign against deposits on bottles and greatly reduce the amount of glass and punctures.

The Bicycle Transportation Alliance is also supporting the broken glass campaign http://www.btawa.org.au/~bta/campaigns/current.shtml

also report as much broken glass as possible in hazard reports to Cycling@dpi.wa.gov.au or on the DPI web report system at http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/cycling/2345.asp

Hazard Reporting

Don'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
