Nelson’s seemingly endless number of potholes are being dealt with on a complaints-based priority basis.
This from chief financial officer Colin McClure who admits it’s been a tough winter and the budget is stretched.
McClure is proposing a near doubling of the paving budget to about $1.1 million to address road-base issues so they’re not just repeating surface patching.
The snow clearing budget of $700,000 is already spent even before this coming winter.
