Artist Sioux Peto talks about the frustration caused by road closures due to gas works

Transcript

00:00 It does really worry us.

00:01 I think everybody on the state now should be worried as well.

00:06 We need new pipes put in.

00:08 We need something on a more permanent basis.

00:12 You can't just keep digging up the road every couple of weeks.

00:15 I think one of the main problems is that we've only

00:17 been open as a business for less than a year.

00:22 Most of our tenants haven't been here a year.

00:24 Now, it's really, really affecting--

00:27 I know a few of the upstairs ones,

00:29 it's not too bad.

00:31 But for Nurture for All and the Hub,

00:35 it's major because nobody knows that they can park still here.

00:40 So the whole system here, I mean, basically is a square.

00:45 And it's a mess.

00:47 It would be really, really helpful

00:48 if there was proper information put out there for everybody

00:51 and we had proper updates rather than finding out through--

00:55 I mean, it's great that the people of Merston

00:57 actually care where they live and they're

01:00 bothering to put stuff out on Facebook for us all.

01:03 I think Merston Matters has been putting a special traffic post

01:09 up every day.

01:10 And so people can post onto there

01:12 because it's becoming really frustrating.
