ONE of Canberra’s oldest roads, Wentworth Avenue, will be resurfaced, Government officials revealed today during Estimates hearings.
ACT Shadow Urban Services Minister Alistair Coe said he first wrote to the former Chief Minister and Minister for TAMS Jon Stanhope in 2009 about the road surface and has been lobbying for the repairs ever since.
“Today in Estimates hearings, Government officials said that the road will in fact be repaired. Although it has taken years… I am pleased that the Canberra Liberals’ persistence on behalf of the community has finally paid off,” Mr Coe said.
