Midgen Flat Road, there is nothing flat about it, it’s a death trap!
Midgen Flat Road is the main connection from Hinterland Way to Broken Head and Suffolk Park. When Ross Lane is flooded it services Lennox Head for residents and emergency vehicles.
It’s repaired totally inefficiently by Council contractors spraying bitumen into the craters that reappear after each rain event. They spray it, it rains, holes reappear deeper and wider each time. Ratepayers’ money wasted once again.
This pockmarked, patched, piece of road is an 80km/h zone. Pity help the motorbike rider that hits one of these potholes in the dark, or the driver avoiding a pothole with oncoming traffic coming at them on this narrow ‘road’ at 80km/h.
How about Council fixes it once and does it properly, and gives residents a safe road, not the current death trap we are forced to use on a daily basis.
