Last week we published stories with updates on the future of Divisions in the region and pedestrian crossings in Warwick CBD.

Here’s what some of our Facebook readers had to say about our breaking story sharing the news…

On divisions

Russell Wantling: It all depends on how the divisions are split.

Lewis Perkins: We need divisions to have fair and equal representation across the shire. As it is the bigger towns can have too much representation and country towns have too little.

Adam Colrain: It is a must for the region. Divisions will provide the whole of the community clear and equal representation.

Nathan Colyer: Will stop heavy stacking at one end of the Region.

Aaron Cox: (Divisions will) make people accountable to the people they represent and eventually earn their votes. Shouldn’t even be a question.

Nathan Colyer: (Divisions are good because) you have a direct representative and you hold them directly for their failures. They don’t perform you replace them. This current not my job pass around has to stop.

On pedestrian crossings in Warwick CBD:

Paul Jones: Making the middle of town more pedestrian-friendly can only be good for the town.

Avril Brown: Roundabouts were designed to keep traffic flowing, these crossings are doing the opposite!

John Donges: You just have to shake your heads at the bureaucrats. Go around in a big circle over many years, spending how many 100’s of thousands of dollars that could have been used to keep rates low.

Ray Black: The crossings are too close to the roundabouts causing congestion is my only complaint, but at least we will all know who has to give way when this is implemented.

Susan Brown: The non raised ones I agree with, but the crossings at the roundabouts are just ridiculous.

John Donges: While they’re at it, please fix the main st traffic lights. Whoever did the pattern of changes made it so slow and congesting.
