Executive Mayor Tania Campbell said during the launch of the pothole repair campaign that the city’s Department of Roads and Stormwater intends to patch 82 500 square metres of potholes by the end of the upcoming financial year.
“Over and above the recent budget adjustment, CoE also endorsed the non-governmental organisation, Better Bedfordview, and its campaign to patch potholes in the Bedfordview area,” said Campbell.
She said the decision to endorse Better Bedfordview forms part of the multi-party coalition government’s objective of developing a holistic infrastructure strategy that combines the imperatives of increased spending on maintenance, infrastructure renewal and leveraging private-public-partnerships to enhance service delivery in the city.
