Sent the following email to Michael O'Brien with a cc to Gary Liddle. Hope this speeds thing up.

We the residents next to the freeway in East Malvern are becoming fed up with VicRoads’ inactivity regarding the increased noise they have caused with their upgrade of the noise barriers.

We are yet to see the results of the noise testing which was carried out last year despite promises by VicRoads that they would be available by now.  In fact one resident was told by VicRoads that no testing was carried out beforehand!  How is this possible?

We have sent letters to Gary Liddle from numerous residents complaining about the increased noise and he has yet to have the courtesy to reply.  Instead we received one letter (which I sent to you on December 5^th 2012) from a Bruce Gidley which I regard as insulting.  VicRoads are treating us with contempt.

Why was so much public money spent by VicRoads on a system that has made the situation worse and is impacting on the residents’ quality of life?  Why are they now ignoring the feedback from the residents?  The whole way this matter has been handled by VicRoads suggests either incompetence or dare I say worse on their behalf.

We demand that VicRoads improve the situation or we will be forced to take the matter to the press and have it played out in public.
