I appreciate that the Government is not able to accomplish all that needs to be done. However, do Lieutenant-Colonel David Burch and the Department of Works and Engineering staff travel the same roads that we, the public do?

If so, they have to know in what terrible shape some of the road surfaces are. It seems that when there is heavy rain — much of which we've had lately — the patchwork in potholes comes out, creating some very bad spots.

It’s a wonder that our vehicles aren’t in the shop more often for suspension and alignment work. Surely, some work can be planned a bit at a time, but on a regular basis to start getting the roads back to where they should be for smoother rides!
