00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Happy New Year to yah. Too late to slip that in,

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: I feel I said that Parliament's back concession today is

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: council back to work as well.

5
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: Yeah we've been back to work, but yeah, our first

6
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: council meetings next week. I've got a yeah, few workshops

7
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: happening by laws, policies etc.

8
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then and you're planning, and.

9
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: You're planning coming in. We've got activity briefings this week.

10
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: So yeah, back into it.

11
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: Holidays feel a distant dream already. He's something that's drawn

12
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: a few headlines over the past week and we've had

13
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of facetious fun with it as well.

14
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: The Tybill Vite actually credit to her has done the

15
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: work on the new steel beams, because man, they have

16
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: stood up. I think it was last Wednesday where reports

17
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: of three hits in the space of three hours, and

18
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: there was one camper in particular that did a decent job,

19
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: ripped the entire little fit like a tin can.

20
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 3: I saw that.

21
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we all saw it. I know. Spectacular stuff. So

22
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: a bit of commentary floating around about okay, well what

23
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: can we do moving forward, I see that the council's

24
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: gone and installed some new signer just stop sign. There's

25
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: stop sign there as well. Many people have been asking, well,

26
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: what about one of those gentries like you have at

27
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: the entrance of McDonald's and here's the wooden bar and

28
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: you drive under it and you hit the wooden bar

29
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: and think, okay, well, if I've hit that, I'm not

30
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: going to be able to make it through the viaduct.

31
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: That will say a few Can we put something like

32
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: that in.

33
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, there has been a bit of chat about that.

34
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: I know that what we are doing sort of early

35
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: next week or the week after is to put a

36
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: big sort of sign saying low Bridge on the on

37
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 2: the road and red background white writing, so that should.

38
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: There's already so many signs on the bridge itself you

39
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: could see from space.

40
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: I doesn't stop people though.

41
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: Now, that's the thing. I totally appreciate that holiday brain

42
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: is a thing, right, and you're talking people who probably

43
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: live in their best life, you know, touring around the

44
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: countryside following Google Maps blindly, and then all the sudden

45
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: boom because for some reason, Google Maps uses Malcolm Streets

46
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: as a detour quite often. A that's one of the

47
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: culprit here.

48
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: I think it's the fastest route, so that's where they're

49
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: redepicting them. So I know counsel has tried to contact Google.

50
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: A couple of times stop doing that.

51
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 3: To see if they can get it.

52
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: I mean, why you would redirect off of State Highway,

53
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: I don't know. So, yeah, a bit of work to

54
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: do there getting hold of Google telling them to to

55
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: not redirect, and they may keep a couple of campers off.

56
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 3: I think when that camper.

57
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 2: Did itself some damage the other day, there were seven

58
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 2: other campers that were turned around.

59
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 3: Well while we were attending to it. So it's definitely.

60
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's become one of our sort of favorite mind

61
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: cannery pastimes. It's a bit like when you pull up

62
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: a chair at the boat ramp on a summer's day

63
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: if you're on holiday and watch the Cauntera j unfold there.

64
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: You know, maybe we should ever be seated area off

65
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: to the side of the viaduct and we could do

66
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: the same. Again being facetious here, of course, but back

67
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: to the entry thing that has been talked about, right,

68
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: But the whole issue is who pays for it.

69
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 3: That's right?

70
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, so I mean, we have got our in

71
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: your Plan discussions coming up, so I'm not sure if it's.

72
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 3: If there's an option in there for.

73
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: That, but yeah, there's a lot of people that suggests

74
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: that that sort of gentry type thing. We're not going

75
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 2: to close the road through there because a lot of

76
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: people still use it.

77
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, well let's hope the signs at least how

78
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: lender helping end in the interroim there. Hey, something that's

79
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: on next week And we had Carolyn Cloffin from Advantage

80

83
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: to their diary. Kings Trust Enterprise Workshop tell us about this.

84
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,480
