Public Opinion Survey On Chain Link Fencing
The Department of Planning has prepared a public opinion survey on the use of chain link fencing alongside public roadways.
A Government spokesperson said, “While this type of fencing serves functional purposes, the materials, design, and style can have a significant impact on the visual appeal and character of our unique island environment.
“This survey has been designed to gather public feedback on the use of chain link fencing and its various design options. Your feedback will be instrumental in shaping the Department’s future policies on this matter.
“The survey is available on the Department of Planning’s website and on its Facebook page. The survey will be available for a two-month period from September 10, 2024 – November 10, 2024. Completing the survey will only take a few minutes.
“The Department of Planning encourages everyone to take part in the survey and is grateful for the public’s participation and contributions on this topic.
“If you have any questions about the survey or issues accessing the link please contact us on 297-7756.”
Chain link fencing is not in keeping with Bermuda and I do not understand what function it would serve “alongside public roadways”.
Is this a public relations exercise only? Is that why the Government will not tell us what function chain link fencing would serve “alongside public roadways”?
Chain link fencing? How about a survey on the still appalling state of our roads with uneven surfaces due to shoddy resurfacing, potholes everywhere and constant road closures or one lane only open? The only road out of Somerset is about to reduced to one lane only at Scaur Hill for SIX months: if W&E have any part to play that will translate to a minimum of 12 months and drivers will see that, for the majority of the day, the only thing working will be the traffic lights, no sign of any ‘workers’.
