Residents of Hardy’s Bay Pde at Killcare are fed up with their pothole-ridden street and incensed that they will have a four to five year wait before any effective repairs are made.
Resident David Smith said the road was in a “deplorable” condition and repeated requests to Central Coast Council for a fix had been unsuccessful.
Council advised Coast Community News that the street was scheduled for resurfacing in 2029/30.
But Smith says this is unacceptable.
“I’ve been asking for years to have this road resurfaced from No 26 through to No 8, but the Council keeps fobbing me off,” he said.
“The big hole near the Council cover outside No 8, which is Council land, is getting worse, as is everything else.
“The potholes are amazing.
“The Council waste trucks are driven by very nice people, but churn up the driveway outside No 8.
“The tree roots are also bad all along from No 26.
“This road is dangerous as the residents constantly have to watch where they point their vehicles.
“It needs resurfacing; I can’t believe how much we pay for rates, but get nothing done.”
Council advises that residents can report any pothole or other road defects for review and response by a Council Officer.
Thanks David for flagging. Let me contact staff and see if there are any interim measures we can carry out to fill in those potholes while we await a resurfacing.
