MAROONDAH: Govt fails to clean Croydon kerb
Croydon MLA David Hodgett (pictured) has asked in State Parliament why the Department of Transport and Planning has not completed the scheduled cleaning of the kerb and channel along Croydon Rd, Croydon.
“Minister, my office wrote to you a couple of months ago after my constituent Liz contacted me, completely frustrated after she had been trying unsuccessfully since November last year to get the department to clean the gutters and drains along Croydon Rd,” Mr Hodgett said.
“In response to this correspondence you advised us that the department had programmed the cleaning of the kerb and channel, including the pit and cross culvert outside Liz’s home, to be completed in July 2025.
“Minister, it is now the end of July, and these works are still not done. Liz and her neighbours are completely fed up with the road flooding every time it rains, due to the failings of the government in not being able to stick to a regular maintenance schedule on roads they are responsible for,” Mr Hodgett said.
