Liberals pledge ‘black spot’ road funds

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

FEDERAL Holt Liberal candidate James Mathias has pledged $276,000 for road upgrades if the Turnbull government is re-elected.
Under the package, $226,000 will be allocated towards a single-lane roundabout and street lighting at the Childers and Russell streets intersection in Cranbourne.
Mr Mathias also promised $50,000 for flashing ‘Give Way to Pedestrian’ signs at the corner of Power Road and Box Street, Doveton.
He said the funding was being directed toward roads and intersections that had been identified as dangerous.
“These particular locations will be recognised by locals as sites where accidents have occurred in the past or through their own near misses.”
