Time is money

On Wednesday April 9, I passed the road works in Cambridge Rd a number of times. I noticed five personnel directing traffic, two large earth/road machines, parked up, and no activity on site, i.e. no progress.

Estimated costs for the day $4000 plus. I again noticed the same on April 15, no significant progress. What is essentially an eight-month project at most, we are now over two years. At whose cost?
