Road sink hole leads to picture of ‘desperation’ and ‘frustration’painted
“The only surplus they seem to have is potholes.”
KOOREH resident Carly McNaulty has joined the fight to get road issues noticed.
She hopes by bringing attention to a big sink hole on the Wimmera Highway, something may be done before someone gets hurt.
It comes after Logan resident Leigh Sutton started a competition to see if comparing road rubble to the size of a brick might make a change.
Ms McNaulty said the sink hole was in a dangerous place on the road.
“The sinkhole is so large, a photo doesn’t do it justice,” she said.
“It takes up the entire road, it’s right on the bend and has guardrails up each side, so there is nowhere to go if you lose control and head into oncoming traffic.
"Someone painted an obscenity on the road about this hazard, not out of vandalism, just desperation and frustration.”
Ms McNaulty couldn’t understand why taxpayer money wasn’t going to council to fix the roads.
“Our Shires do a great job with the tight budgets they have to work with but this highway is maintained by Vicroads and our State government has redirected all our road taxes to fund megaprojects in Melbourne and gives nothing to fix our rural roads,” she said.
“The only surplus they seem to have is potholes.”
