My submission:
I am writing to oppose the proposed closing of the Roberts Line/Railway Road intersection.
I have used this intersection safely for years as have many other Kelvin Grove residents for travelling to points North through Bunnythorpe, or points West via Kairanga/Bunnythorpe Rd. Alternative routes will require more time and vehicle emissions or travelling though some of the PN 50 km/hr zone. This can only lengthen travel times, resulting in more tired/frustrated drivers and reduced safety, plus huge inconvenience for Roberts Line residents travelling North
You acknowledge that the reason for this is due to recent fatal crashes. However subsequently multiple rumble strips were added and made the need for stopping and fully checking the road abundantly clear to all but the most incompetent drivers who shouldn't be on the road. The vast majority of responsible drivers should not be penalised.
You also mention the Road To Zero campaign. This is an absurd notion (that there will be zero road deaths by 2050), yet leads to a mentality that speeds limits should be continually slowed and roads closed in the belief that "pedestrians and people on bikes" are going to be a significant solution to transport-even for an intersection like this, miles out in the countryside.
I urge that the Roberts Line/ Railway Road intersection remain open to vehicles.

Linen wrinkles and creases very easily so if you want it to appear smooth and flat, it needs ironing. It may also need starching. However, the wrinkles in the fabric are often considered part of linen’s character, and many linen garments are now designed to be air-dried and worn without ironing.
Tips for machine washing linen
• Check the care label for guidance on washing temperature.
• Always separate dark/coloured linens from white or off-white linens to avoid colour transfer in the wash.
• The first time you wash a linen article, wash it separately from other materials. Linen can cause lint.
• Linen is a natural fibre that can absorb a lot of water. This means it is prone to heavy creasing in the wash. If you give linen items a lot of space to move around in the washing machine drum, this should reduce the amount of creasing. It is best to only half fill the machine.
• Avoid using bleach on linen, as this weakens the fibres and it may affect the colour of dyed linens.
• Bleach particles in conventional washing powder make natural linen colour fade, so use only mild detergents.
• If possible, choose a wash programme with a long soak, a short wash/rinse and a short spin and using a moderate to cool temperature.
• When the wash cycle is finished, immediately remove items from the machine to avoid any extra creasing.
• Straighten out and gently stretch the linen after the wash.
• Line-dry or air dry or dry flat.
•Do not tumble dry linen, as it may leave permanent creasing and it will shorten the life of the item. If you dry linen in a hot tumble dryer, it can shrink up to 15%.
Note: Linen can generally be machine washed at high temperatures but this can cause shrinkage. Modern detergents generally work just as well at a lower temperature so it is not necessary to use a hot wash. We recommend the maximum temperature you use for linen is 60°C.
Hand washing linen
Fine embroidered or hand hemmed/stitched linen items need extra care. It is usually best to hand wash these items or take them to a professional cleaner.
• Use water that is comfortably warm to the touch (blood heat) and also ensure you use the correct washing detergent (see advice above). This should be dissolved/evenly distributed in the water before you add the item.
• Let the item soak for up to two hours to ensure the fibres are saturated.
• Use gentle agitation to wash the item.
• Rinse the item in three clean rinses of cool water, or rinse until the water is clear.
• Between rinses and at the end of the wash, squeeze the excess water out of the item.
• Starch the item at this stage (if you are using starch).
• Dry flat if possible, gently pulling item to the correct size. Alternatively line-dry or air dry. Do not tumble dry.
