Message from The Area Coordinator
Apart from wishing you all a healthy, safe & happy new year I should start by an apology for all those who were looking forward to the Crestmead Community Carols on December 6th. Unfortunately the rain just made the event too difficult to stage & we are sorry for all those who were disappointed. So much effort had been put into the event that it was a hard decision to make but since the weather map looked very ominous for the rest of the day it was just not worth taking the risk as it happened we only got a few odd showers but we had to decide at lunchtime. However instead we hope to hold a family fun day in Pinnington Park on Sunday March 29th to celebrate Neighbour Day. There will be a free sausage sizzle, jumping castle & other activities. The raffle we had started for the carols event will be drawn then, so if you would like tickets please contact by email or come along to our meetings or at the Bunnings BBQ fundraiser on February 7th at the Browns Plains store. Next newsletter we will have information about our activities and speakers planned for the year including cyber safety, stroke prevention amongst others.
We will not be undertaking as many events as last year e.g. the Crestmead Week of Action and Road Safety Expo but let us know what sort of things you would like in this community.
Please note that you can now report minor traffic crashes via the Qld Police Link smart phone app or online to save having to wait for the police to attend. See mypolice.qld.gov.au for details There are a large number of forms on line which you can complete for many subjects to save having to attend the police station so take a look. Remember that after these few quiet weeks on the roads that schools return on January 27th and that 40 kph limits will be enforced in the school areas. With the reduced roll toll in 2014 let us work to reduce that figure even more in 2015. There were 48 fewer deaths last year but more hospitalised casualties and we all know that many casualties will carry their injuries for the rest of their lives affecting not only themselves but their family and friends also. Take care and stay safe Geoff
