<b>2. Come along to our rally: It's time to replace Walmer Street
Bridge! - 10am, Saturday 4th August 2018</b><br>
<br>
We need a new bridge, we've needed it for more than a decade. The
present bridge does not deal safely with the users given it's been
designed for another era. Let's work together to replace it now so
it can deliver safe passage for all users, now and into the
future. Please save the date: 10am, Saturday 4th August 2018 and
come along to Williams Reserve, 520 Victoria Street Abbotsford to
hear from local state politicians about how they will fund the
replacement bridge.<br>
