Residents demand answers on prolonged street repairs and services

Residents expressed frustration during a recent government meeting regarding ongoing street repairs that have left their neighborhood without emergency services for 15 days. One resident inquired about the schedule for the completion of the street work, noting that initial timelines had been disrupted due to weather conditions.

The resident highlighted that while there was a tentative schedule provided at the project's outset, updates have been sparse, leading to uncertainty about when normal access would be restored. They mentioned that some progress had been made recently, but significant areas remain impassable, particularly on Karen Street, where concrete debris poses a hazard.

Concerns were also raised about the impact of the construction on residents' water bills. One individual requested consideration for a discount on water charges, citing the need for frequent cleaning due to dust generated by the ongoing work. The resident emphasized that this issue should be addressed by the council, as it directly affects their daily lives.

The meeting underscored the challenges faced by residents during infrastructure projects and the need for better communication regarding timelines and support during such disruptions.
