Lower Main Reef Road has once again become a no-go zone for motorists.<\/p>\n
The stretch of road outside a trucking company has deteriorated to such an extent that it has become impassable for motorists, who fear for their lives when trying to traverse the section of road.<\/p>
The GCN reported on the road in April when, after numerous requests from road users, as well as the Ward 36 councillor Wendy Morgan, the road had finally been repaired.<\/p>\n
However, even then potholes were starting to form on the opposite side of the road due to the continual movement of trucks going in and out of a container depot\/trucking company in the area.<\/p>
Katie Geyser, a frequent user of the road, is totally fed up with the situation.<\/p>\n
She has been reporting the problem to the metro for months and nothing has been done.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fact that nothing has been done here is an absolute insult to us law abiding tax payers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI came within millimetres of been pushed off the road on Friday morning by an irate driver trying to get through.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow much longer do we have to endure travelling on this non-existent road before something is done about it?<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are they waiting for?\u201d said Geyser.<\/p>\n
Morgan has also been trying to get answers as to when the road will be fixed and a permanent solution to the problem of the trucks found, but to no avail.<\/p>\n
The GCN has requested comment from the metro numerous times but none has been forthcoming.<\/p>\n
