Councillors Press Bridge Delay in Gloucester Shire
Councillors voiced concern at last Wednesday’s Gloucester Shire Council meeting over the delay in rebuilding the washed out Gloucester River bridge. The Shire Engineer reported erosion and higher building costs requiring at least 700 pounds more, with total costs doubling since May of last year. Councillors urged timely action, noting the bridge is a vital district link, and that the council must secure half the funding if the other half is ready.

Gloucester Shire work progress and Jubilee plans
The Shire President J N Channes noted progress on the pit work with about half of the £100 voted by Council spent. Finishing requires filling holes and tree cutting to fence level. An overloader may be used to move gravel to the landing ground. A Local Jubilee Celebrations Committee meeting is set for Wednesday February 28 to discuss the programme. The Department of Local Government has advanced £54 from Federal funds toward Gloucester celebrations, with the balance due on completion of programmes.
