Waitaki road dissatisfaction in 2016/17: context before SouthRoads’ contract

Historical network context · before the new contract

The story behind this source link, with the business connection, source details and original publication brought together.

What was found

Waitaki’s 2016/17 report records resident satisfaction of 47% for sealed roads and 27% for unsealed roads. Both satisfaction measures missed their targets; the sealed-road smoothness measure was achieved.

It also records that SouthRoads’ new maintenance contract began on 1 July 2017. The satisfaction reporting period preceded that start, so these results cannot establish SouthRoads’ performance under the new contract.
