Have your say on proposed improvements to Coatesville Riverhead Highway.,

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Hi neighbours,

It's time to have your say on plans to boost safety at the Coatesville Riverhead Highway intersection with Barrett Rd, Riverhead.

Consultation on a planned right turn bay closes on December 22.

The change comes after public pleas to improve safety at the intersection which has only one lane in each direction.

Cars turning right onto Barrett Rd block the lane and can cause gridlocks.

The new right turning bay aims to ease traffic flow.

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
