We have all been living with the main road through our village being ripped up for some time now and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. Travelling between the Caltex garage and town at 8.30 this morning, the possible reason struck me.

There was a mechanical digger working. There were 51 labourers along the road. Of them, six were “working”? (two waving flags, one slowly moving pavers from one pile to another, one raking and the other two gently moving soil with shovels).

The other 45 were either watching the “workers” or standing/sitting around talking.

Not a good utilisation of labour and not much different from any other day.

What more needs to be said? To cap it all, the pavement already laid on the west side of the bridge, has been lifted and the pavers neatly stacked.

I ask, will the work ever be completed?
