So how are your roads coming along ?
Are you happy with the condition of the roads in your area ?
There are a lot of repairs getting done but questions are being asked as to the quality of the repairs.
There appears to be a succession of fanfares hailing the repairs being carried out but the roads are still in a disgraceful state both in rural and urban Caithness.
Whilst certain people are busy patting themselves on the back they seem to be hoping that the people of Caithness will forget that Councillors, politicians and the Highland Council's so called management just stood by and allowed the road network in Caithness and Sutherland to fall in to such a dangerous state of disrepair.
Vehicles are still being damaged and people are getting injured.
When is someone in authority going to realise and admit the task is so huge that the current workforce can not hope to make a big impact and get a task force assembled that can get the repairs done more quickly and to a standard that will last.
Politicians, Councillors and some officials from The Highland Council have made visits to Caithness thanks to the pressure applied by the Caithness Roads Recovery Campaign. Unfortunately many have enjoyed the day out and have now slid off in to the undergrowth after issuing statements of concern but actually achieving nothing.
Time for everyone to contact the appropriate people and remind them that there is still a crisis in Caithness due to the dangerous state of the road surfaces.
