We are dealing with it.
There are not many options. Electricity Dep is trenching on the sea side and they have a valid wayleave. Its coincidence that the contractor on the opposite side also started with operations. The green screen is there to inter alia prevent debris from the cliff face from falling onto the road below.
We have already communicated with Electricity to get that job done and the trench on the sidewalk reinstated.

Hi Johan/Brian
Were way leaves applied for an granted in both these instances. It would seem from the pics that there is serious excavation of roads by the developer we need someone there to check the stability of the Cliffside.
If no way leaves have been granted I would expect a cease works be granted to the party that has no got permission until it is rectified by the inclusion of a temporary side walk and appropriate signage, as a matter of urgency.
Thanks

An unacceptably dangerous situation has arisen in Victoria Rd, Bali Bay - in the vicinity of the Houghton Rd steps and 119 Victoria Rd (about 100m south of Saps station).
The contractor at 119 Victoria Rd had cordoned off the sidewalk for construction purposes and recently, another contractor has excavated the sidewalk on the opposite side of Victoria rd for trenching. There is now about 20m of no pedestrian walkway on either side of the road.
As you well know, this is an extremely busy road for both vehicles and pedestrians and the latter now have to walk amongst fast-moving traffic on an almost blind bend. It is incredibly dangerous and with respect, needs urgent, immediate attention before there is a serious accident.
Please could you prevail on the responsible parties to rectify the situation immediately.
Thank you
Chris Willemse
