Deplorable state of Hampshire Cemetery road

Dear Editor,
On Tuesday 18-05-2021, I had cause to go to the Hampshire Cemetery to attend the funeral of a close relative; and, editor, it was a nightmare to get to the burial site because of the horrible state of the access road that leads to the cemetery.
Editor, this cemetery falls within the Hampshire/Kilcoy NDC, and, over the years, residents have made numerous reports to the authorities regarding the state of this road, but, sad to say, their pleas have fallen on deaf ears. And do you know what is the most hurtful part? In front of the cemetery is the Belvedere Industrial Site, and the powers that be ensured that this same road up to the Industrial Site is a beautiful asphalted one, and the rest of the road up to the cemetery remains a mud dam, which is reduced to a miserable state when it rains.
And by the way, the Government got the name totally wrong, the Industrial Site is in Hampshire and not Belvedere, and so they should change the name to Hampshire Industrial Site. Anyway, after spending hundreds of millions of dollars over a period of three administrations and 15 years and counting, this Industrial Site is a white elephant with only one building there to date.
I diverted slightly, but coming back to the cemetery road, since the Government started infrastructural work at the Hampshire/Williamsburg New Housing Scheme, which is just in front of the cemetery, a contractor has taken over the road and stockpiled red sand and other materials, including his machinery, with no regard for residents who have to bury their loved ones at the cemetery.
I said earlier that access to the cemetery is a nightmare. I am therefore calling on the Minister of Public Infrastructure, Bishop Juan Edgill, or the Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal, to come and see what is going on, so as to alleviate the situation and give us a concrete asphalted road up to the Hampshire Cemetery.

Yours faithfully,
Imtiaz Baccus
