The department also cited a Namoi River bridge issue andPedestrian use of the main roadway, while the council seeks help from Beaninay Shire Council for tar-to-pothole repairs. The piano at Memorial Hall was valued and will be recorded for a four-year filming contract, and notices will warn hall users against driving nails into walls.
