Questions submitted by Rusty prior to the meeting will be responded to in writing.
Mario Panebianco asked questions in relation to the Asphalting of Asher Road:
The road in question is approximately a 600m stretch of road seemingly forgotten about. What is currently gravel, this road has no good reason not to be asphalted similar to all roads surrounding it. For example, Valleyside Drive, which is both asphalted and kerbed. Enquiries have been made into the costs of such a project – the Council would recoup the costs in approximately five years in current regrading costs. Interest is also in finding out why this road was seemingly abandoned.
Why was the asphalting of Asher Road left uncompleted?
When can we reasonably expect the asphalting to be completed?
The Acting Mayor took the questions on notice for a written response.
Nil.
