Subscriber only I ve been reading a lot of Facebook forums that have been discussing the changes that have been happening around Savages Crossing and Twin Bridges and I felt the need to make a few points and clarify some misunderstandings within the community. I am the moderator of the Facebook group: Clean Up Somerset Waterways and Parklands. I m a big believer in being completely open about my intentions, and I am happy to have open discussions with people about my thoughts . as long as they are respectful and founded in knowledge and research. I have no ties to any particular political or personal agenda, other than trying to make sure these areas are safe, beautiful and protected.

LONGSTANDING issues with people dumping waste, including human excrement and drug utensils, and tearing up river banks at popular tourist sites along the Brisbane River have forced the local council into action.
Somerset Regional Council will install barriers along road reserves to restrict vehicle access close to Twin Bridges and Savages Crossing near Fernvale.
Security cameras and signage will also be put in place. Locals are fed up with rubbish being dumped along the Brisbane River in the Somerset region.
Locals are fed up with visitors leaving all manners of rubbish along the Mid Brisbane River catchment that runs through the region.
