No sooner had the barriers and cones been removed from Cameron Road giving back the needed parking spaces, then who do we see? Council Parking Wardens issuing tickets in these areas. You'd think they would wait until after Christmas as a gesture of good will.
Again have to ask why?

When many others have to work, essential and non-essential services, why put a pause on these critical road projects? Employ more people, do what you have to do, but please speed up the progress, not hinder it. Stop being Princesses over it - you are there to do a job - just do it. Should be working everyday except Public Holidays ( even then why not ?) , job could have been finished weeks ago.

Lol, the words Council and goodwill are not synonymous in any way. Hey Merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year to you.

... to detect any difference in progress between times when workers are there and times when they are not, is a normal effect and does not indicate problems with your eyesight.
