[audio mp3="http://blackburnnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/bradley-want-to-deal-with-minister.mp3"][/audio] Mayor Bradley says they want to talk about several issues including winter maintenance on the 402, highway signage and safety concerns on Hwy 40. He adds no trees have been planted along the 402 after the province promised to do so following the blizzard of 2010.
