Ti Rakau bridge repairs
Mayor Goff was reported recently as suggesting that some service cut-backs may have to be made in Auckland due to budget pressures.
Yesterday the finishing touches were being made to the repair of the footpath on the North side of the Ti Rakau bridge - filling the gaps between the new paving slabs and the surrounding footpath with cold-mix bitumen.
It looked to me like a very, very small job but there were 2 traffic control trucks and 1 Fulton Hogan truck and 7 men in hi-viz jackets, one of whom was using a shovel to place and smooth the filling compound.
When I returned, around 1/2 an hour later, the same 7 people and three trucks were filling a tiny pothole in the road surface - again 1 person with a shovel, but this time the other 6 weren't even pretending to watch him working.
I wonder how much this cost us.
