It does not look to good for the current Gold coast city council in the final week of the race to the polls. The governments and councils are trying to make people walk more but is is very hard to walk when you keep getting injured by the negligence of these same governments and councils.

We know first hand that many of the footpaths around Brisbane and the Gold coast have been damaged by Australia post & other brochure distributors causing grooves to be dug into the footpaths. In ourselves so far thankfully this damage has only caused twisted ankles and bruising. BUT just think about it someone could twist their ankle falling head first on to the road be run over and get killed.

Now for most of the country Postal & other brochure distributors should be being fined for it and not be riding on the footpaths due to the road rules.

Another issue is the placement of utilities points such as manholes for sewage access, Telecommunications pits and more. Walking down Greenacre drive around March 3 2008 I just came to the top of the crest at the round about and was starting to walk down the other side when thud, crunch my hip was forced up through my shoulder. It is now about a week later and I am able to move better now.

On top of this the lack of pruning & mowing recently has caused injuries to both myself and my partner. Walking up Napper road a few weeks ago in late February 2008 I slipped in the slime in the gutter on Benala street that I could not see as the council had failed to mow the grass and clean the streets properly.

Walking up the footpath on Highview place Parkwood today March 9 I again came face to face with the ineptness of the Gold coast city council. I was walking along when suddenly the ground dropped from under me about half a foot, I was stunned to find what looked like a tree had been pulled out and the roots ground out.

Now think about this if I wanted to go bush I would drive out half an hour to the back of Nerang in which case I would know to be more careful. Compared to the fortune we pay to the governments and councils to keep our suburbs mowed clean and safe to walk in.

Most of the above injuries occurred in the current mayoral candidate Rob Molhoek’s division in which case after the elections we will due to popularity be welcoming Dawn Crinchlow to be our local councillor who should have enough clout to fix all the above problems across the Gold coast.

When voting on March 15 at the Gold coast city council it would be advisable to vote for the people who are going to do something about these sorts of problems. Currently the vote 1 for mayor would be a toss up between Tom Tate, John Bradford and Rob Molhoek. AND for division 6 as we said above vote 1 Dawn Crinchlow, to be our local councillor who should have enough clout to fix all the above problems.

Bear this in mind we are not clumsy people. Though if you vote 1 Ron Clarke you may end up with the same problems you may find that if you vote 1 Tom Tate, vote 1 John Bradford or vote 1 Rob Molhoek we are pretty sure you will be getting the best choice to fix the problems we will confirm this tomorrow when we see Melinda Molhoek.
