🚧 CALALA LANE TRAFFIC CHANGES 🚧
🛣️ As part of works for the construction of the shared path on Calala Lane, access to some of the adjoining roads will be removed at different times over the next few weeks, weather permitting.
👷 Traffic control will be in place on Calala Lane with traffic reduced to one lane, alternating flow, during work hours between 7am and 5pm Monday to Friday, and between 8am and 1pm on Saturdays as necessary.
⛔ As the work zone location changes over the coming weeks, access from Harrier Parade and Myrene Avenue to Calala Lane will be removed as required.
🙏 Council thanks road users for their patience and asks everyone to follow the roadwork signs and traffic control in place.

📺 Did you catch us on SBS News last week?
We love the confidence and learning this program brings to families in our region 💝
The program exists because of Dolly and her vision, and continues with the support of generous, kind people just like you!
🙏 If you're in a position to support the Tamworth program, we'd welcome your donation. As Dolly has shown us, even the most humble beginnings can have amazing outcomes.

Thank you for sharing with children across our region 🥰

Dolly Parton was known for her many, many hit country songs, starring roles in films like 9 to 5 and Steel Magnolias, and her business acumen, which ranged from cake mixes to a theme park.

Her legacy extends far beyond music. And for many children, her most significant legacy is literacy.

In Australia, her Imagination Library initiative has touched the lives of 151,000 children.

But those in regional areas say more financial help is needed to keep it alive.
