Who else got a laugh out of last night’s local news? The bush mechanics on tha telly telling us what we’ve know for too long now.. some Hervey Bay residents have no regard for road rules and Main Roads & Council have have completely failed in solving the traffic problems on Boat Harbour Drive.
For those who missed it we saw Cr Dalgleish and his trusty side kick Cr Les out measuring the streets to highlight the need for U-turns at the corner of Boat Harbour Drive and Central Avenue. Maybe it was just playing up for the cameras but Les was not wearing Hi-Vis clothing as he measured the curb nor did they have a traffic controller assisting them as he ran a tape across the roadway. Safety first next time Les!
Important issue yet it was a silly way to demonstrate the situation. To top it all off, Dave used the opportunity to take yet another cheap attack on the local member.. It is one thing to try and make a point but clearly there are smarter ways to achieve a better outcome for the community.

In other news, sources have provided the name of the councillor who was heard publicly mouthing off about her counterparts and yes.. we know which one she thinks should be pulled into line, who makes her nauseous and the councilor who wishes he could wash his hands of Maryborough’s problems.. we won’t name names just yet but as we saw with today’s episode, things really need to change and fast.
