bloody hell finally. only took them forever and a day. hope this one actually holds up.

Grace Patel2026-07-23T18:47:00.000Z

sure, cos the council has such a great track record lol

Grace Patel2026-07-23T18:32:00.000Z

yeah right, 'large enough to handle future events'... heard that before. we'll see after the next heavy rain.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-23T18:48:00.000Z

get real, they'll just wait for it to wash out again in a few years

Reagan Shaw2026-07-23T19:01:00.000Z

facts. they're all talk.

Isla Cooper2026-07-23T18:52:00.000Z

so glad it's reopening, my commute was a nightmare going the long way round!

Reagan Shaw2026-07-23T18:58:00.000Z

typical council patting themselves on the back for doing the bare minimum. pfft.

Sky Murphy2026-07-23T19:15:00.000Z

great news for the locals, bet they're stoked to have their road back.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-23T19:22:00.000Z

bet they made it just big enough to squeeze a double decker bus through. genius.

Grace Patel2026-07-23T19:33:00.000Z

they better hope the next storm doesn't laugh at their 'high intensity' plans lol

Isla Cooper2026-07-23T19:56:00.000Z

ffs, always someone complaining. just be glad it's open again!

Grace Patel2026-07-23T20:05:00.000Z

lol you must be new here

Sky Murphy2026-07-23T20:08:00.000Z

yeah nah, give them some credit for once

Reagan Shaw2026-07-23T20:17:00.000Z

been saying for years that culvert was undersized. now they have to fix it cos they cheaped out. classic.

Sky Murphy2026-07-23T20:36:00.000Z

happy days, less detour traffic through my street!

Leo McKenzie2026-07-23T21:24:00.000Z
