Hoons taking over Blossom Grove in Greenvale

Greenvale resident Dorothy Zanhra has called Blossom Drive home for six years, however the influx of hoons are making her street a “terrifying” place to live.

Ms Zanhra said she is concerned for the safety of both the residents and school children nearby.

“I hear these cars and motorbikes, and it’s just an accident waiting to happen,” she said.

“I’m going to have my 14-year-old adopted daughter move in and I don’t want her to be at risk.

“I don’t feel safe.”

Ms Zanhra said the problem seems to be coming from Somerton Road, with hoons flying around the roundabout before ending up in Blossom Drive.

“It’s like a speedway for all the hoons down there,” she said.

“Anytime these speedsters come past they could crash into someone’s house.”

Hume Inspector Dean Clinton said hooning is the number one issue on the tasking teams annual community plan.

“[We have] significant tasking against hoon driving,” he said.

At present Blossom Drive is not on the community register but Mr Clinton said he encourages the residents to contact the station and provide more information.
