The broken slate outside the Marion Culture Centre has caused a significant hazard one of our elderly resident. CF of Park Holme claims she called the council to notify them of the incident and after 2 months it’s still the same condition.
This resident question’s "Can’t the council see these things, particularly where they are walking." It seems after the Aquatic Centre development and promotion nothing has been done about improving our safety for our elderly on the way to the library.
Footpaths across the city would be responsible for a number of tripping injuries each year. While it is recognised that each one cannot be repaired if not reported; those that have been reported should be acted upon. It would be interesting to investigate their obligations under the OHS&W act, surely we pay our rates for this protection
Have an issue with council inaction?
We would like to hear about it: marion.residents@gmail.com
We can be contacted via email, blog, tweet or facebook
Remember:
If the inaction is from phoning the council administration, the elected members / councillors should be your next line of support, that's what they are there for.
Failing that and providing you still have the will-power; we suggest petitioning council and/or deputating (speaking) to the council sitting, seeking a formal motion so that council can vote on the matter.
If you use these processes, you can cut throw the red tape and inaction.
Update: association has approached a councillor who has requested a customer request to have the problem fixed.
