Road grading

3 calves today - 6 so far.
Over the weekend we heard that the council had started grading our road last Friday. History says that they will only grade up to our gate. Over the years there have been many 'discussions' re the section of road that goes through our place. Because it's gated off, I think many people assume it's a private road and getting any maintenance is like pulling teeth.
Yesterday morning, I phoned the council and left a message to the effect that I expect them to 'do' the entire road.
On our trip to town yesterday, there was no sign of the grader working - probably an RDO.
Today they were there. I drove down and asked the bloke in the water truck, “how far down the road are you going?” The answer? - “to the gate”.
Would you believe I was a bit 'miffed'?
Straight home and back on the phone to the council. Molly, the poor girl on the switch assured me that she had passed yesterday's message on and I would get a call. I said the grader will be gone before I get a call - I must speak to someone NOW.
Joe came on the line and assured me they will be going right through to Tiger Hill Road - I hope so!Baca lagi
