The Blind Can Walk.........

A road that is repaired or made new, should be such that a blind can walk without stumbling.

The terms of the contract should be such that 50% value is paid on completion, and the rest in 3 equal installments.Each installment paid at the end of a year, if earned in time will carry nominal interest as paid by the Banks. Before any installment is due for payment, the Contractor with the Civic Ward Engineer + Municipal Councillor + Citizens Group representative will inspect the status of the work done. If any two of the three members find fault in the workmanship of the road work, payment can be delayed until rectified to satisfaction. The date of next payment is counted from last payment date. Delayed payments attract no interest. Thus by default the road must be in good condition for a minimum of 3 years after handover.
