    This is a very bad idea!! Please don't approve this proposal. The Hines Rd/South St is an uncontrolled intersection that carries a lot of traffic. With current traffic volumes it works okay most of the time, HOWEVER it doesn't take much of a change in traffic volume or conditions for it to move rapidly past being problematic to being quite dangerous. The median strip ceases at this intersection and the road narrows. Large and small trucks servicing Galatis and the industrial estate turn right at this intersection. The sun affects visibility in the early morning and late afternoon, and it is worth noting that the PTA moved the nearby bus stop two years ago due to safety concerns. Putting a petrol station on this corner will be exactly the sort of change to traffic conditions that will either cause grindingly slow traffic or will push the intersection into the 'dangerous' territory much more frequently. With additional traffic entering and leaving South St and Hines Rd from additional driveways, plus signage etc, there will be much more data for drivers to process and respond to. Given the well established petrol price fluctuations and driver behaviours in response to changes in price, it is quite likely that traffic on South St will come to a standstill at times on 'cheap' days when cars queue to buy cheaper fuel. What a nightmare for all concerned, especially for local residents.
    Furthermore, there is no need for a service station here given that there are already EIGHT (8) petrol stations within a 4 km radius of this site. As a local resident, it is also needs to be said that a 24hr service station is out of character with the largely residential location and daytime service operations, will be disruptive to nearby residents and will invariably result in more antisocial behaviour. And to think that long-suffering Hilton residents have FINALLY seen a noticeable reduction in such behaviour in just the last 2-3 years. Back to the drawing board on this one. It makes no sense and is not something that we want or need in our neighbourhood.

    The intersection of South Street and Hines Road needs to be improved to make access to the proposed Petrol Filling Station safer. Widening the intersection and adding right turn pockets on South Street would possibly be a way of improving safety at this intersection.
