LOWNDES Co. – Neighbors on Carter Road in Lowndes County are upset their road still isn’t fixed.

Storms washed out a big chunk of the road a few weeks ago and all the damage is still there.

Now neighbors have to walk from their homes to the end of the road everyday. Some residents even push baby strollers and wheelchairs down it.

The county can’t legally fix the road since it is privately owned unless the owner signs an easement.

County Chairman Bill Slaughter tells WALB the county approved a temporary easement and funding for a contractor to make repairs to the road. The owner, Charles Cowart, has not signed the easement but did give the county permission to fix the road. Even with that permission, the county can’t do anything until the owner signs the temporary easement.

The county says they are continuing to look for ways to help the residents on Carter Road.
