To Charles Sturt Council
We understand that the path through Nancy Fisher Reserve, West Beach (South Australia) has been identified for an upgrade in the 2018/19 financial year. A new section of path has been identified to connect Military Road to the existing path within the reserve. As part of these works we request that you replace the existing path (compacted gravel) through the reserve with concrete. This path is heavily used to get around the river to Henley Beach South to access busses, schools, local services & shops etc. It is also heavily used to get to the beach and connects to linear park. The compacted gravel breaks down creating a health and safety concern for all (young, old, bike riders, scooters etc) as it is very slippery, uneven and prone to causing slips and falls. Please arrange to concrete the path through Nancy Fisher Reserve, West Beach, South Australia early in 2018/19.

Had quite a few near miss slips on the bike on this section of the path, as have my two young girls. Initially this path was sound to bike along but recently just very loose sand / soil. Fixing this would be great.
A smooth concrete path would be great for all residents from elderly wanting stable footing, to young families with toddlers and using the “loop” around the playground for tike bikes/scooters. This is a well used connecting path to Henley Beach and is a loved spot for neighborhood street Christmas parties.
I support the petition.
Looking forward to the upgrade
Scooters do not work at this park as the path is not smooth. It’s unstable for all to walk on.
Brilliant idea I use it a lot
A well used path especially by young families

This park looks as though it was an afterthought. The gravel path adds to this affect, it does not meet up with the Linear Park trail. It stops short in a dirt allyway no more than 10 meters away from the Linear Park trail. The path is only really useful for walking on if you don’t mind stepping over the crumbling surface. I believe a concrete path some what wider than the current path would be much more practicle, safer and more useful than the current gravel path.
