Let’s not pretend that abnormal flooding of Feb–Mar 2022 would have been less severe had the Tintenbar/Woodburn M1 highway and its inadequate viaduct system, that dammed the flow all the way north to the Tintenbar village, not existed.
No longer will its victims fall into slumber with the pitter patter of rainfall on their rooftops. Sleepless nights instead will be a certainty, yet not one official has raised their hand to take the blame.
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
