I am one of about 20 people who live on Blackwood Park Road, north of Bridgetown at the bottom of Hester Hill. Although it was one of the first roads in the district, this can now hardly be called a road. It is a bumpy, pot-holed, muddy goat track.
It has been on the list of roads which the Shire plans to upgrade, but due to my activities in trying to hold the Shire and councillors accountable, the work keeps on getting postponed. It is their way of punishing me for daring to question their actions. The problem is my family and others who live on the road are also being punished, and put at risk. The road is dangerous.
Other roads on which councillors live have jumped the queue in front of Blackwood Park Road.
I ask you, is it fair that most citizens of Bridgetown-Greenbushes can drive to and from their homes on sealed or properly made roads and we residents of Blackwood Park Road have to traverse this...?
