As for Coolamon Scenic Drive as an alternative? That road is lethal at the best of times, is absolutely not fit for heavy vehicles or even large vans, and I have already nearly been wiped out by people swinging wide on some of those acute bends.
Come on Council, do the right thing and work it out. You’re supposed to be representing the people, and guess what? They have spoken loud and clear!
