Take A Closer Look – Road Repairs

Its hard enough to have Newcastle Council repair a pothole.  So how do you explain rows and rows of streets being repaired in our area?

If we had an open and transparent mine subsidence authority and related government agencies, we could quickly cross correlate data showing public assets (stormwater, sewer, drinking water, data cables, etc..) and how the legacy mines are impacting on these services.

What is Newcastle’s pro-active mine subsidence policies for the old abandoned mine network – or, do we wait for damage first, then repair, then wait for the damage to return, then repair again….?
