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.

Our 8pm screening is the inspiring French film, Divertimento, a heart-warming tale of Zahia Ziouani, an Algerian immigrant growing up in Paris, whose love for music inspires her to try to join the French National orchestra.
THE GREAT ESCAPER
UK/FRANCE, 2023, Comedic Drama
96 mins, Rated M

This heart warming story is based on the life British World War II Navy veteran, Bernard Jordan.
The year is 2014 and with commemorations due to take place for the 70th anniversary of D-Day in France, Bernie is heartbroken. He's in no condition to attend as he is about to turn 90 and living out his days in a nursing home in Suffolk.
Undeterred, Bernie hatches a plan to break out of his nursing home to secretly attend the ceremony in France to give a heartfelt goodbye to a fallen friend. Along the way, he's aided by strangers, makes new friends and the news of his "escape" makes him an international sensation.
Beautiful, enchanting and sublimely performed. - IMDB
