It is a shame that in a resource-rich country, streets are allowed to deteriorate for months and years. Instead of fixing the cracks as soon as they appear, they are left to become potholes. These potholes can be found in every region in this country. A few months ago, I was in Region One and the poor conditions of some of the roads resulted in some long and arduous journeys. Accessing some communities in Region Nine was also challenging because of the poor conditions of the roads.
Some of the worst potholes I have seen within the last few months, however, are in a section of De Abreu Street, Newtown, Kitty. Not only is there a private school in that section of the street, but there is a grocery shop and an auto repair shop. One would imagine that with the high vehicular traffic along the street daily, there would be ongoing calls to fix the bad section. I started frequenting the area in September of 2021 and since then the condition of the street has worsened.
