Yuelamu CDP Road Works
Last week the Central Desert Regional Council (CDRC) Community Development Program (CDP) worked on fixing a road in Yuelamu.
A large gully in the road made it unsafe for driving. The CDP participants filled it in with gravel and finished it off with top soil. This will stop water from travelling down it and creating even more erosion.
Now the drivers and pedestrians of Yuelamu can travel along this street safely again.
