REGULAR readers of The Euroa Gazette will be familiar with the proposed wind energy facility and transmission line project in the Southern Strathbogie Ranges proposed by FERA Australia.

Whether readers support the proposed project in the region, are opposed to it or are somewhere in–between, it is crucial that their opinion is heard.

The Strathbogie Responsible Renewables Community Group (SRRCG) is conducting this survey to gauge community perceptions to this project.

The SRRCG is focused on a fact based, respectful and inclusive process regarding FERA's proposed project and supports a transparent and honest approach to the community, stakeholders and decision makers.

More information can be found at www.srrcg.com.

Readers can access the survey at this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/srrcglive.

The survey should take between 7 to 10 minutes and closes on 8 July, 2023.

My message to readers is: make your voice heard.

Why school crossing supervisors are important

I AM Brianna and I am a year six student leader from St John's Euroa.

Today I will be talking about the children's crossing here in Euroa.

The first reason why Victoria should keep their crossing supervisors is, if we did not have crossing guards cars would not know to stop quickly, because there would be no flags, whistles and fluorescent clothing to warn them.

There are so many accidents, each and every year on our roads.

Without school crossing supervisors, this amount of accidents will increase dramatically as school crossings are high risk areas.

The third reason why Victoria should keep their crossing supervisors is because our younger children are still learning about road safety.

Parents need to be comfortable and confident about their children crossing the roads safely.

Without school crossing supervisors this would not be the case.

The crossing supervisors play a crucial role of preventing accidents and providing security and supervision for both the parents and children when crossing the road.

Those red flags that say "children's crossing" prevent accidents.

This is an an important reason why the role of the school crossing supervisor should be maintained.
