CHANGED TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AT PROSPECT
THE community is advised of changed traffic conditions on Western Motorway at Prospect on August 11 and 12.

While this work is being carried out, there will be temporary lane closures on the Western Motorway on-ramps and a reduced 40 km/h speed limit will be in place for the safety of workers and road users. Work will take place over two 8pm to 5am shifts starting on Monday 11 and Tuesday 12 August, weather permitting.

The world-first study found that eating two eggs daily can even reduce LDL cholesterol and lower heart disease risk. Researchers showed saturated fat, not dietary cholesterol from eggs, is the real concern. With cardiovascular disease causing one in four deaths in Australia, experts urge people to rethink eggs’ unfair reputation and focus on reducing saturated fat instead.
