Liverpool Plains Shire Council disappointed by drivers disobeying road signs, Gap Road to close

Liverpool Plains Shire Council mayor Doug Hawkins has slammed drivers doing the wrong thing and said it was crucial road safety advice was taken seriously.

"It is not safe to ignore this advice and not at all good for the condition of our roads that have already deteriorated as a result of all the wet weather we have had in the region in recent months," she said.

"We strongly urge people to do the right thing and wait until they re-open before travelling."

On Thursday, Liverpool Plains Shire Council announced they had run out of road closed signs and would instead use barrier boards to signify if the road was closed.
