I refer to the article quoting Ann Attwater regarding the sewerage works at Bateau Bay CCN 430).
I appreciate her concerns and support her thoughts.
Unfortunately I have complained in person and in writing for the past 10 years.
Last year I, along with about 40 concerned locals, attended a meeting about what Council was to do about fixing the sewerage problem.
They took all our contact details and promised to keep us informed of progress; obviously no progress as no contact.
$3.2M was to be spent.
The last two weeks have been the worst in a long time.
On Saturday afternoon/night (March 16) the smell was horrible.
Ann’s comments about having a stinking sewerage works next to a sporting facility, bowling green, golf driving range and Bay Village are correct.
The Council should ensure the facility is in peak condition; unfortunately the Council promises a lot and delivers nothing.
Not sure what we can do, as nobody on the current Council is held accountable for what is not getting done.
Let’s hope as promised it is fixed by September or the new council representatives will have a big job ahead of them.
