How can people be trusted to spend billions of dollars

on the big stuff, when they can't get a simple

sign to stay up straight?

I have catalogued on this website,

four years of photos of less than  compentent work

(in my view)  carried out by RMS contractors.

 The people at : Ventia Boral Amey Joint Venture deserve a medal for prompt responding to enquires

I sent this email  to the address that Mr Terry McSweeney (Principal Manager Ministerial Correspondence) gave me, and I hope I get an answer other than the normal public servant ones I get.

  AT 11.45 pm Friday  2/08/019, I sent this email

Subject: clearway signs

Hi,

I have tried for the last four years to get a bit of common sense into the installation of clearway signs.

last month I used the "contact"  feedback of the latest NSW Road Minister, and I had a reply thus;

That reply from Mr. McSweeney, doesn't really help

I have catalogued on my website  www.schoolzonesanta.com four years of photos of less than  (in my view) competent work, carried out by RMS contractors.

Could you have a look at the website,  and is there merit in my concerns?

Regards 

Hans Stephens

The photo below was taken less than three weeks after installation

 At 12 16 am  Saturday  less than half an hour later, a reply came back

An extract from Mr Terry McSweens letter

"For the safety of maintenance crews,

 new clearway signs are

attached to existing signs and

no longer drilled onto electricity poles.

 This is in accordance with

the Australian Standards.

I am advised there are no plans

to change the Standards at this time."

  What does that mean?   Toxic sawdust?

...............................................................................................................

About 12.10pm I rang the 1800 number Mr McSweeney gave me, and was told that they can help, if I say which clearway sign needs maintainence, and they will send out workers to maintain it 

 FIRST  BASE !!!

Back to where I started, 4 years ago.
