Make footpath safe

I am writing in regard to your news item Footpath Work 'Low Priority' (Peninsula News, , February 21).

I am disgusted by the council's statement that they do not have enough money to construct a safe footpath in Flounder Rd, Ettalong.

Isn't making the footpath safe what councils do?

I see they had money to spend on a weekend away for themselves.

This is typical of council's treatment of the Peninsula.

Surely council's budget isn't so tight that the council can't afford to make the streets safe for our blind residents.
