This week it was all about traffic and vehicles.
School Student Hit at Hunters Hill
It is back to school time—a reminder to slow down. On Wednesday morning 3 February, a young child was hit by a car in Hunters Hill. Police advised:

Foxes Are Out and About in Lane Cove
The following was posted on Lane Cove Chat by ITC. We have had quite a few fox sightings recently.
“Fox on the prowl this morning in Elizabeth Pde. Called WIRES, they don’t do Fox’s. Not sure where he has gone now. Could have gone up towards Canberra St. Bit of a morning surprise/scare!” (see our cover photo)
