The following residents of the ACT draw the attention of the Assembly to :
a) Residents of Latham are experiencing reduced accessibility to bus services since the removal of the Macrossan Crescent bus route and bus stops.
b) Bus routes that currently service Latham only operate along Dalley Crescent, Florey Drive, Kingsford Smith Drive, O’Loghlen Street, and Onslow Street, leaving much of Latham unable to easily access public transport due to far distances to bus stops, a lack of connecting and well-maintained footpaths and difficult terrain.
c) Vulnerable residents of Latham, especially elderly and disabled people, have had their independence hindered by the removal of the bus stops and bus route along Macrossan Crescent.
d) Residents of Latham deserve convenient and accessible public transport services along Macrossan Crescent as they previously had for many years.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to
a) Restore the bus stops and bus route along Macrossan Crescent to promote convenient and accessible public transport services for Latham residents.
