PNCC ROADS
BIG CONCERN!, I rang PNCC the other day to ask why my road has not been painted last year and was told that with some tasks inc road paint, they are changing to a reactive approach, i.e if there is a complaint they will paint your road.
This is crazy, why is pncc the only NZ council with this approach and not understanding or even caring NZ just had the highest road toll ever including our own Xmas casualty (my deepest condolences to all involved).
Our TV ads say "we are only separated by a paint line so please drive safe". we need the yellow lines.
so just where are our rates, fuel taxes, and the NZTA subsidies obtained by pncc going?
The hoons will soon realize faded markings are legally non-compliant (there is a colour & reflective scale they must meet) & it's very easy to look up on the web, people will be able to ignore our faded lines and the police will have more hassles & prob just give up.
I thought ALL councils must be PROACTIVE and what is WorkSafe's opinion as Pncc is a pcbu?
Can companies require staff to drive company cars on non-compliant roads as it must increase the risk of an accident? imagine when there are risk assessments of council roads to be determined before a workplace trip.
again it's avoidable and we pay for better.
Many questions need to be answered. remember main items for a council are Water, sewerage, roads & footpaths. They are the items failing, so why do nice-to-have items come first when our basics are in such disrepair that catch-up costs will just soar!!
I wonder what other services will change to a "reactive approach" as we know potholes have been, Imagine sewer and water?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
