Hi Everyone
Yesterday I wrote an email to The state member for Monbulk the Hon.James Merlino
regarding the road conditions on the Wall.
the following is the correspondence so far.

Dear Mr Merlino  My name is Aaron Twigg. I am the leader of a cycling group in Rowville Called the Rowville Riders 

I am writing to you as I am deeply concerned about the condition of Monbulk Olinda Rd in your electorate. Parts of the road are currently in an extremely dangerous condition. especially to the hundreds of cyclists that visit the hills and use this road every week including myself. 

The road surface is peeling away and has been for over 4 months, it has now reached  
such a state of dis repair that I am now very concerned about my safety, the safety of other cyclists and all other road users. 

The damage starts just after the Nursery on the down hill side of the road heading to Monbulk. and spreads over some 600 metres with a particularly bad section that covers some 150 metres on both sides of the road. I have included photos for you to view. 

It would be very much appreciated if you could direct Vic Roads or the Local Council to repair the road as a matter of urgency. To remove the risk of the damage causing a serious and unnecessary accident 

I have emailed more photos in another email that will follow this one 

Thank you for attending to this matter 

Kind Regards 

Aaron Twigg 

His office replied today with the following

Dear Mr Twigg,
 
I write to acknowledge receipt of your email to the Hon. James Merlino, State Member for Monbulk, regarding the condition of Olinda-Monbulk Road.

Thank you for your email expressing your concern. I can advise you that I have contacted the Office of the Hon. Jaala Pulford MP, Minister for Road Safety and the TAC, regarding this matter.

Once I receive a response from the Minister’s Office, I will inform you of the outcome.

I will keep you all up to date with how this progresses and let you know the final outcome.
Let’s hope they can fix it before Good Friday if not we will be looking at other options for the Crucifix.
