Growing up, my Kiwi mum would, inexplicably, refer to any traffic delay as a Texas tit tangle.
Well, Mullum is currently in line for the biggest TTT ever. As a resident and a business owner, I’d be okay if delays and disruption were all that’s in store.
But that is far from the case. Actual devastation awaits: at best the unfit-for-purpose alternate routes will be destroyed by the extra traffic and, at worst, someone is going to die.
I’m sure I’m not the only parent of a P-plater who hopes to God that Council’s ‘she’ll be right’ approach does not age like milk.
