The mayor of Wodonga says residents living along the border of Victoria and NSW must be allowed to travel freely.
The mayor of Wodonga says it is crucial that residents on the border of Victoria and NSW are allowed to travel freely so they can access work, health services and see family, as authorities prepare to shut down crossings to limit the spread of coronavirus.
"We need to have sensible measures in place that enable our community and our economy to operate otherwise we’re going to have real damage to businesses and our wider community." Ms Nolan-Cook lives in Beechworth but has a son who travels to school in Albury on the other side of the border each day. She said many others would be in a similar situation."It’s very common for kids close to the border to be going to school just across the border."
