Residents of Primrose have taken it upon themselves to barricade a large pothole at the corner of \u00a0before more vehicles are damaged.<\/p>\n

The GCN was told by one resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, that he first reported the pothole in January, after he had damaged his car.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cDespite numerous calls to the metro from several community members nothing has been done and the pothole continues to get bigger and bigger,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The resident believes that the metro should pay for the damages to his vehicle.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The GCN contacted the metro to get comment on when the pothole will be repaired and if they are in fact liable for the damages to the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Themba Gadebe, spokesman for the metro, said: \u201cThe complainant can lodge a claim from the metro\u2019s insurance.<\/p>\n

\u201cGeneral liability claim forms and potholes claim forms can be obtained at the metro\u2019s insurance section, on the ground floor at the Sanburn Building, 68 Woburn Avenue, Benoni.\u201d<\/p>\n

Residents can call the metro\u2019s insurance department on 011 999-6550 or 011 999-6547 for more information.<\/p>\n

\u201cResidents are notified that submission of a claim does not automatically imply that the claim will be settled,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

No mention was made by the metro of when the pothole would be repaired.<\/p>\n
