Problems with drainage remain

It was with great interest I watched the resurfacing of the carpark behind the Old Pub in Woy Woy.

The big question was: would it be done properly?

Or would we get the usual anything is good enough.

There were trucks and all sorts of other machines; supervisors and workers everywhere.

It really looked impressive.

This had to be it.

No more potholes, no more puddles, efficient line markings, the works.

Well, looks can be deceiving.

A quick check the other day revealed most of the potholes were filled, which meant you were at a lesser risk of falling or stepping in a puddle right up to your middle.

However there was no grading done so the problem with drainage remained and the puddles will still be there, just not as deep, for the first few years.

The greatly reduced number of spaces for commuters continues and line marking is inadequate.
