RICHARD WHITFIELD ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Richard is a member of the Older Persons Advisory Committee, and in that capacity has co-authored a report supporting the more extensive use of eScooters. He’s identified the lack of a protected bike between Port Melbourne Primary School and the Sandridge trail as an opportunity to improve mobility in Port Melbourne Ward. He says “I strongly believe that we need a much more extensive and inter-connected network of protected cycling paths throughout the municipality. I would be happy for see much more spending in this area, including much more conversion of on-street parking areas to green pedestrian and cycling pathways.” MORE INFO
