One would think that our local Councillor would try to do something about the state of our roads in this area. Seeing that he is in the ideal position to report the multitude of potholes in our roads, one would have thought he would at least report those he has to dodge on the way to work every day. Maybe there is a route I don’t know about, but I doubt it very much - I have checked.
Cape Town’s roads are in a sorry state, and I’m starting to get scared that people will think I am drunk, while all I am trying to do is dodge the potholes. So Mr. Qually, how about it. Will you please report even just the potholes you encounter on the way to work each day? It should not take more than a couple of phone calls for you, and you would save not only yourself, but a whole lot of others a lot of money in tires, undercarriages and maybe even accidents.

the pothole slap bang in the middle of the road that runs along the railway line near the Lakeside crossing is turning into a crater. i’ve often wondered why it is that over the years the Council seem incapable of fixing this hole. all the ‘plugs’ shoved in there take a month or two to unplug themselves each time leaving a slightly bigger hole than before. the cost of the man hours and materials poured into just that one bottomless pit alone must have reached ridiculous figures by now. why is it not possible to retar that particular strip of road to fix it once and for all? this situation has been going on since i moved here in 2003 and probably started long before that. a small hole has turned into a dangerous crater. did i mention that it’s on a sharp bend? this is a very popular road which i’m sure our Ward Councillor must use regularly himself (unless he takes another route to avoid the pothole of course) but really is it too much trouble to ensure that it is fixed properly and that our rates & taxes are not wasted? after all there must be SOMEONE in the City of Cape Town who knows how to fix a pothole.
