Ever-increasing potholes a threat to lives and vehicles
The ever-increasing deplorable potholes in the total length of the Esplanade from Umina Beach to Ettalong Beach is a threat to lives and certainly to vehicles.
Duty of care by Central Coast Council is not being addressed.
How long do we have to put up with these hazards?
One would imagine all who live, and the welcome visitors who drive, in the Peninsula need to be more assertive when using the Esplanade than elsewhere on the Central Coast.
The council obviously has no positive ongoing preventative maintenance programmed, otherwise potholes would not be an issue.
This Council must still have "old" wood in "the wings" who are inefficient and non-cognitive to the needs of its ratepayers for pothole attention.
A positive manner from Council members towards ratepayers is a must.
