Stopped in Grenfell and surprised to see the Main St is still closed to through traffic.
Grenfell Main St upgrade: Extract from the local paper back in December 2020.
“This is great for the community, this project will stimulate the growth of the community by attracting more of the tourism dollar. We want to show off our heritage, our boutique shops and local businesses,” Cr Liebich said.
“We’ve commenced work this morning and it’s supposed to be finished by the end of May, ahead of the Henry Lawson Festival in June. We will aim to inconvenience shop owners and businesses as little as possible; we don’t want to impede their trading.”
Now January 2023. Instead of just 5 months it's been 24 months and it's still not finished. The street is not open to through traffic. Bollards and tape everywhere. I wonder how many Main St traders are still in business?
Harden has one now. |
