THE number of submissions from people hoping to save Kingswood Golf Course in Dingley from being turned into housing has surpassed 8000. The charge to save the course from being subdivided into lots is being run by the Save Kingswood Group, which has been rallying to prevent the development for the last three years. “The course is in the centre of Dingley Village and it’s the only big tree parkland we have.

DIVISION ONE FRANKSTON YCW have shocked football fans across the peninsula by bowing out of finals in just the second week.

Rather it means that still greater efforts must be made; it is the supreme time when…
THE Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League has backflipped on comments made two weeks ago about their scheduling difficulties for the junior footy finals series. MPJFL senior vice president Paul Lonsdale said that fixturing finals had been difficult because Mt Eliza had “shot us down” and that the league would make every effort to get games scheduled on Sundays next year (“Sports’ fixtures creates finals fiasco”, The Times, 13/8/18). Those comments have now been taken back in a statement provided by the league to The Times. “The MPJFL Executive team did not ask or discuss with Mt Eliza the possibility of…
