How are we doing? Is there anything you would like to tell us?
The current level of maintenance of the unsealed Double Hill Road in Waitati is not suitable and generates road safety issues, health related issues and impacts quite heavily on some areas the quality of life of its residents. The trafic includes an increased number of residents, tourists and people accessing the multiple tramping tracks in the Silver Peaks mostly on week-ends and holiday season, but also very heavy trafic from logging and other forestry operations all year long. As a result, this one ligne road is most of the time in a status largely below standards and often quite dangerous to drive on. The dust generated by the trafic is unfortunately having a heavy and increasingly noticeable impact on the quality of life of a number of Double Hill Road, Waitati residents. Otta sealing is a good long term solution to target both the dust and the safety aspects of this road. I would therefore like to urge the DCC to take action by providing Otta sealing for all of Double Hill Road, Waitati. Otta sealing of the areas that require dust suppression should be done as a priority and completed by Novembre 2023. Thank you for your urgent attention and action on this matter.

What other ideas should we be thinking about to include in future plans for our city?
Eliminating council depts.
