Dear Editor,

I would hope that some level of government would take on the task of fixing the pavement on Route 303/Centre Street in Shawville, from the 7th line on into town. This is a major traffic route, and the pavement is horrific – downright Montreal-quality!  If no local body is prepared to deal with it (and they have had many chances to do so), must we appeal to the United Nations, or perhaps set up a GoFundMe account? I know asphalt is expensive, and the labour required is even more so, but the savings in wear and tear on tires and suspensions could be significant. 

Robert Wills, Shawville and Thorne
