DEAR News Of The Area,

I WRITE in agreement with the article in last week’s paper concerning Margaret Bridgman.

The state of the footpaths in the Sawtell area are a complete disgrace.

I recently had a meeting with Mayor Amos who described them as eclectic.

Really?

We are all complaining about them.

The yellow paint has definitely faded, but good news it gets repainted every few years.

This has been an ongoing issue for many years now.

I fell just last week stepping off the footpath to let some runners go by.

Margaret suggests we need to play our part.

I keep my laneway clean and tidy, I pay my rates which, just for the record, are higher than friends in Sydney who have a view of Sydney Harbour and the Bridge, the difference is I have no curb and guttering and my street floods every time we have a downpour.

Back to the footpaths – it is time the council took a walk around Sawtell to view in person its deteriorating state due to neglect, as Sawtell votes don’t count as we don’t have an active voice in council.

They just might at the next election.

Regards,
Julia ATKINSON,
Sawtell.
