Toco Main Road in a horrible state

THE EDITOR: The Toco Main Road from Matura to the Toco Junction is in a horrible state with a rough surface, numerous potholes, dangerous edges and corners, narrow bridges and sometimes no shoulder.

Recently I have noticed the edges and verges neatly cleaned up by CEPEP workers. This is a colossal waste of taxpayers money as the bush would spring up uncontrollably once the rainy season begins. I wonder what is the point of keeping the roadsides clean and leaving the road itself in such a horrible state! The millions of dollars which are being spent on CEPEP workers could be more profitably spent on improving the road surface itself and even if this is done at a rate of about five miles per year at least we will be sure that in three years time we will have a decent road to Toco.
