Update from Co. Mgr on Road Widening & Bus Standing Area Maryborough Hill

Readers will be aware that I am trying to drive this issue for a long time.  Last week I put a motion to seek the extact position and Im afraid Im tearing my hair out because there has been very little movement on the issue.

MARYBOROUGH HILL BUS TURNING AREA AND UPGRADING

This project will drive me mad because the system has allowed delay after delay and despite huge pressure by me on all involved it is still not resolved to my satisfaction and that of the residents in the area. 

Following contact with the manager his reply is detailed hereunder.  However, I still have unanswered questions regarding same and am seeking further clarification.

/The Manager informs me that Correspondence was received from OBOF’s Engineers MHL in February looking for agreement to a change in road layout from what was previously permitted. The proposal was considered internally here and it was agreed in principle subject to the receipt of certain further information. Confirmation was received from OBOF in early April that agreement to proceed had been reached with NAMA. The works are to be publicly advertised. A further query arose as to the Council’s ability to contribute to the works and it has now been confirmed that we are not in a position to contribute. Council now expect the works to be tendered.  They  have asked for a detailed programme which will have to await receipt of tenders. Council have also requested the early completion of the bus lay-by. On item 2,3 and 4, OBOF will advertise and manage the tender process. Timeline will only be established following programme from successful contractor.
