Survey to get firms out of their jams

TRAFFIC woes in Dandenong South are in the spotlight and businesses can have their say.
The City of Greater Dandenong has commissioned a study to identify key issues and traffic choke points in the area.
It comes in response to increased business concerns about congestion and the negative impacts on their operations and profits.
The council, South East Business Networks (SEBN) and others will use findings from the SGS Economics and Planning study to lobby governments to alleviate the traffic issues.
In an email to businesses, SEBN said it was keen to understand the adequacy of road infrastructure that businesses relied on for efficient transport and worker movement.
“It is critical that we have solid evidence to support our submissions to government for funding to address traffic congestion issues and to lobby for the prioritisation of projects such as the Abbotts Road/Remington Drive road-rail grade separation,” the email said.
It invited businesses to complete an online survey with targeted questions, which should take no more than 15 minutes to complete.
The survey needs to be completed by Friday 10 April.
Call Sandra George at SEBN on 8571 1576 or Rebecca Stroud at SGS on 8616 0331 with any questions.
