While Florida Road was not adversely affected by this weekβs devastating floods, the Florida Road UIP still rallied to repair some damaged infrastructure.
The flooding and subsequent damage have prevented some UIP staff from getting to work however the UIP was able to continue operations with just two members of the cleaning team on the ground.
Precinct manager Andrew Fynn said: βDespite staff shortages, we managed to use tar piled on the sidewalk to temporarily fill the trench damage in the service lane behind Florida Exchange, and our teams proactively removed sand that washed up to entrances and sidewalks. We are also grateful to KFC for laying pavers that were washed up from their entrance.β
