During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding road safety issues on Corry Road, primarily attributed to a contractor's negligence. A local resident, representing the community, expressed frustration over the contractor's failure to maintain proper safety measures, such as the placement of cones and ensuring safe road conditions. The resident called for government intervention to hold contractors accountable for road safety during their work.
In response, officials acknowledged the issue, noting that it has been a growing concern as numerous contractors have been active in the area over the past few years. They discussed the possibility of implementing an ordinance to enforce stricter regulations on contractors, emphasizing the need for a system that would ensure compliance and accountability. However, officials also recognized the challenges of monitoring contractor activities with the current government structure.
Another resident highlighted the urgency of the situation, particularly with an upcoming festival expected to draw significant traffic to the area. Concerns were raised about the safety of emergency vehicles navigating the narrow road, which has seen a dangerous drop-off in certain sections. Officials assured the community that they are working to address the road conditions and will take necessary actions once the recent roadwork has cured.
The meeting underscored a collective desire among officials and residents to enhance road safety and contractor accountability, with discussions indicating a potential shift towards more stringent regulations in the future.
