Very pleased to see you emerging as appa...Hi Luke,<br /><br />Very pleased to see you emerging as apparent leader, or at least coordinator for the community, in this debacle. Your list of issues regarding Goodwood Junction is quite comprehensive but there is one point I'd like to contribute:<br /><br />Some 2 months ago I was visited by 2 young women on behalf of the Goodwood Junction project (Lauren & Belinda) they listened to my concerns and when we discussed house structure damage due to forthcoming heavy-duty drilling along Cromer Parade, they asked if I would like to go on a register with the purpose of being visited by technical persons who would document (photographically) the state of properties so that any damage to said properties caused by forthcoming heavy drilling works could be appropriately rectified and compensated for. I agreed, and filled in the form.<br /><br />Some days ago. Lauren came to visit again, asking about my concerns regarding the pedestrian crossing from the lane located between Sasmee Park and my property (26 Millswood Cr.) towards Fairfax st. I explained my concerns and Lauren promised to contact the appropriate person/s; I have had no feedback about this issue yet. I took the opportunity to remind her about the promised technical staff who were to document state of properties before the heavy drilling along Cromer started. She told me "it will happen" but I have had no further news. A fellow traveller at Goodwood Station last week told me her property had already been photographed. I now ask: What are the criteria for which properties will be documented, and potentially compensated, and which not?<br /><br />I would also like to remark that those of us whose properties are close to the freight line have already suffered damage to house structure in the form of cracks due to constantly heavier trains at higher frequency rates over the last few years, which fact anecdotally confirms that the amount of freight being moved through our leafy green suburbs has already caused damage over time. Too easy to ascribe damage to weather change..<br /><br />Millswood Crescentnoreply@blogger.com
