DEAR News Of The Area,

ONCE again I have to take issue with the state of the verges and roundabout on Stadium Drive, Coffs Harbour.

How many near misses, accidents and possible deaths does there have to be before council/main roads or whoever the governing body is does something about the height of the weeds?

Someone is responsible for these verges and the roundabout.

I know the argument is going to be that it’s classed as “a construction zone” however the public are still using these areas and they need urgent attention.

If you drive a truck or bus you could see over the height of the weeds, but the majority of locals don’t have these as their daily runabouts.

It would only take a couple of people with whipper snippers to bring down the forest that’s growing there and it should be on a monthly schedule especially coming up to summer and with the amount of rain (and subsequent vegetation growth).

Regards,
Lyndsay ROOK,
Coffs Harbour.
