WESTBANK ROAD’S FATE TO BE DECIDED THIS WEEK

A decision over the fate of Westbank Road will be made at tomorrow night’s Tamworth Council meeting.

The stretch of dirt road on the outskirts of Tamworth faces uncertainty once the Chaffey Dam upgrade is completed, with concerns it may flood the road.

Three options will be discussed.
