How many more trucks will be diverted through the inner west?

2016-10-27

Constituency question:

My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. As the minister would be aware, there are some 21 000 truck movements through the inner west each day. Now that B‑doubles are going to be banned on the West Gate Bridge from 1 November, it has raised a great deal of concern in the local community, especially because the way we all found out was when we saw it in the media on the day of the announcement. Nobody had actually spoken to any of the local groups, and one of their main concerns now is how many of these B‑doubles will actually be travelling on residential streets each day.
