I see that the county has filled in a few of the holes in the roads in Erskine with many more to go so if you have a problem with your street, please phone the county.
There is a new scam occurring through the Internet that people should be made aware of. Some are receiving a ticket from the police using email and they are told to go to the post offices to do the cash transfer. If you receive one, it should immediately be deleted, without opening as it can make your computer crash. The RCMP do not send tickets through email.
