Road repairs
Several of the 172 road sites sealed last summer have since lost patches of chip, causing problems for drivers, council and our contractors.
We are keeping the sites as safe as possible while the weather and temperatures improve enough for permanent repairs.
This includes weekly checks when contractors are sweeping or removing loose chip as required.
Some sites have continued to lose chip quite rapidly after a sweep. This can make it look like they have not been swept. We arrange re-sweeps when that happens.
We have put temporary traffic management in place for the high speed rural environments where this happened, with signs warning drivers of the hazard and announcing speed limits.
Under the terms of our contracts, the cost of this management and safety work, and the final permanent repairs, are being carried by the relevant contractors – not Council or the ratepayer.
We are investigating the reason for these failures so we can avoid these situations in future.
