I continue to receive complaints about the length of time that it’s taking to put (at least) an initial seal on some of the many sections of roads within Division 5 and elsewhere which were dug up some three weeks ago as part of the flood recovery repairs.
The work is being undertaken by contractors who successfully tendered for the work and whilst I appreciate the mammoth task involved and the benefits of bulking up the works, the whole process really is dragging on too long with many residents thinking that Council workers are to blame.
This is not the case and I’ve asked senior management to pass on my concerns to the contractors together with a request that they expedite the work as soon as possible.
The works around the Woongarra Scenic Drive /Rifle Range Road intersection have been delayed due to some design modifications but should commence soon.
