There is no coordination among the service companies

Jan 25, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
Just like almost everything else in this land, infrastructure like roads especially is constructed and well laid out, then comes one of the utility companies and digs up the road/s to facilitate the laying of water mains, GTT cables or GPL doing some work that would not put the newly laid road/s into a state of disrepair.
One wonders where the cohesiveness is among these companies. Why are there not consultations between the agencies mentioned above, and why was a comprehensive plan not put in place to facilitate what is to be done by these companies before the road is completed. In my layman’s position monies are wasted since after the road is dug to accommodate the passing of cables or water mains there is a cost to the tax payer to have these new roads repaired, and to make matters worse the repair work is never the same as when it was laid originally.
Now we have the Parking Meters around city streets that was put on hold because there was something to be done and should have been done a long time ago, but now there was a pause a few days ago to get things right, (I did mind the delay), but I do worry about things that must be done and wasn’t done so that delays becomes inevitable.
