Guysborough-Tracadie MLA Greg Morrow said there is a lot of work that goes into maintaining roads across the province, noting his riding is no different. Morrow also pointed to Guysborough-Tracadie being the largest geographical constituency in the province so there is a lot of work to do, adding he is proud of the work that’s been done over the last few years.
Morrow said a section of highway 316 saw work this summer in the Charles Cove Area.
