M2 Widening - BCCT Submission

The Beecroft Cheltenham Civic Trust has put in a most excellent submission opposing the M2 Widening Project. You can read it on http://www.2119.org.au/ by clicking the link at
"The BCCT formally objected to the project due to a number of issues. Please follow this link to view of full submission."
The submission covers noise, effect on vegetation, effect on volunteer work in the area, and perhaps above all "The proposal is not a real solution to the problem it purports to address."
Regarding the Beecroft Rd to Pennant Hills Road section of the M2, the submission rejects the damaging proposal to use Allerton Road for access, and suggests instead the existing and unused access road to the south of the Penant Hills Golf Course. All users of Chilworth Recreation Reserve must applaud that suggestion, if indeed the widening of this section does have to take place. But the submission stresses the long term permanent damage that the widened road would have on the Reserve.
