One of the common issues shared by the Maroondah community is the lack of safety at Ringwood Station and this is an issue that has been raised in the context of the Federal election.
The Maroondah Leader has reported on commitments from both Mike Symon, the Federal Labor Member and Phil Barresi, the Liberal Candidate for Deakin, towards security cameras at Ringwood Station, which will be interlinked with the Ringwood Police.
Similar cameras have successfully reduced crime around Lilydale and Croydon Stations, with Police able to respond quickly to any incidents that may occur. While these cameras have been successful it is clear that a similar solution is required for Ringwood.
