NOW AVAILABLE
Residents at Yallambee Hostel in Cooma North, will have no trouble accessing the Cooma North Shopping Centre now, due to a new path created by Cooma Lions Club with help from Cooma-Monaro Shire Council. Some of the residents like to walk across what was a lawn area to the post Office or coffee lounge and there was always the risk of them slipping or falling. A suggestion by Yallambee’s manager, Donna Saddler, had a positive response from Cooma Lions,
who were more than happy to take on the construction of the path as a project. Assistance was provided by council, in doing the excavation work, designing the path and providing the steel. Cooma Lions Club members spent three days concreting the path, which gently slopes through the lawn to the shops. The pathway will have some landscaping done, plus a few seats, so the daily walk to the shops will become more of an outing for the
residents. Lions president, Ken Hanna, said the club was only too happy to take on the project and pleased to be able to assist the residents. To mark the official opening of the path, resident Maggie McKendrick cut a ribbon and the residents were treated to a Lions barbecue for lunch. Other projects to be completed to complement the path will be a concreted area at the front of Yallambee and seats, so those waiting for transport can rest while they wait.
