Our Role: The Local Government’s Commitment to Our Road Network
As the Borama Local Government, the management, maintenance, and expansion of our internal road network is one of our highest priorities and statutory duties. We view our role not just as a manager of assets, but as the steward of our community’s connective infrastructure.
Our Actions in Local Road Development:
- Strategic Planning and Oversight: We proactively develop multi-year road development master plans and annual work programs to ensure investment is directed to the areas of greatest need, focusing on connectivity, safety, and durability.
- Infrastructure Construction and Improvement: We are responsible for constructing new roads to open up underserved areas and upgrading existing roads (including paving, drainage, and lighting) to all-weather standards that can withstand challenging environmental conditions.
- Routine Maintenance and Repair: We have established dedicated departments and resources to conduct regular routine and periodic maintenance, including filling potholes, clearing drainage systems, and repairing damage promptly. This vital work is done to protect the public’s investment and extend the lifespan of our roads.
- Sustainable Resource Management: We prioritize the efficient use of local tax revenues and seek partnerships to secure the necessary funding for major infrastructure projects. By managing our finances prudently, we ensure a sustainable budget for the long-term upkeep of our network.
- Quality and Safety Assurance: We ensure that all road projects, whether new construction or maintenance, adhere to strict engineering standards to guarantee the safety of motorists and pedestrians. We also integrate safety features like signage and crosswalks into our designs.
The Borama Local Government is actively working every day to build and maintain a road system that is robust, safe, and serves as the foundation for the continued growth and prosperity of all who live and work in our vibrant district. Your trust and cooperation are essential to the success of this vital mission.
