UPDATE: Johannesburg Road Agency has plans for Valley Road in North Riding

JRA has committed to begin grading Valley Road in August.

Johannesburg Road Agency (JRA) has confirmed that they are aware of the state of Valley Road in North Riding and has assessed the area.

The gravel road is in a bad state and unsafe for residents who drive on it daily. The sides of the road have a deep waterway trench, caused by the constant flow of water. The road has also seen an increase in water leaks and has sewer issues.
