Arrogant disdain

The Witness: "Arrogant disdain"
I REFER to the claim by film director Andrew Strackham (The Witness, April 30) that notification of road closure had been circulated to residents in Roberts Road: what rubbish.

Traffic volumes in Roberts Road are phenomenal at the best of times and this street is not used only by local residents, but serves as an access route into town for a vast number of people, including many from Hilton, Howick and Merrivale. Bear in mind that many parents first take their children to the numerous schools in the vicinity before proceeding to work.

The total apathy by the municipality in notifying the public timeously and planning appropriately, shows a complete disregard for the public and is further proof of its arrogance.
