Loan Talk on Road Maintenance Strains Municipal Funds
The secretary warns that maintaining roads costs £200 per mile, with 20 miles to care for and annual maintenance absorbs £1,000 plus sinking funds. Only about £800 remains for general works, so increasing the loan would worsen costs. Emphasis shifts to pedestrian facilities and footpaths rather than more permanent construction, while critics note slow constructive work and neglect of streets around the Catholic Church.
