Cr Loi Truong

I want to provide an update on the project to install traffic lights at the intersection of Harold and Corrigan Roads in Noble Park. At the time of writing this column the project was being completed. Statistics from recent years show the intersection is dangerous, but traffic lights will help make this a safer place for all road users and pedestrians. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic I have distributed over 36,000 free cloth face masks to the community. Since the start of this year, I have been working with Council to help distribute RAT kits and face masks as part of the Council RAT Program. Contact Council via email at COVID19@cgd.vic.gov.au to find out more.

If you would like to get in touch with me I can be reached via email at loi.truong@cgd.vic.gov. au or phone on 0466 004 618.

The Reuse and Recycle Drop Off Day returns to Dandenong this month to help households declutter. Reduce your waste to landfill by donating reusable items or provide a second life for recyclable material and help create a sustainable future.

Drop off larger unwanted electronic and household goods, including televisions, computers, whitegoods, furniture, mattresses and bicycles for free. Good quality items will be donated to charity while other items will be recycled.

Residents attending the Drop Off event may bring up to 15 items by car or small trailer. No trucks will be given access.

The Reuse and Recycle Drop Off Day will be held at Greaves Reserve, 2–20 Bennet Street, Dandenong on Saturday 29 July, from 8am–1pm.
