form” the group was last week meeting at Mornington library to plan their strategy for another attempt (“Transport petition fails” The News 5/9/17). “We are in the process of getting another petition online as well as in print because a lot of elderly people can’t do the online stuff,” chairman Bob Dalmau said. “We are preparing to hit the streets [for signatures] once again – it’s just a matter of getting out there.” Mr Dalmau is urging people wanting better bus transport to contact their local MPs so they “get the message”.

Mr Dalmau said bus transport on the southern peninsula was problematic, with residents at Martha Cove being “three or four kilometres” from the new Aldi supermarket at Dromana and
