The Germiston City News received a call from a Marlands resident, who is at her wits end.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe roads in Marlands are full of potholes and it is becoming more and more difficult to drive in the area, as you risk damaging your car and\/or tyres,\u201d said the resident, who does not wish to be named.<\/p>

The potholes in Marlands have become so bad that residents claim it is difficult to drive.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

She also claimed that several streets in the area have faulty street lights which, she believes, have led to a rise in the theft of gate motors in the area.<\/p>\n

The GCN contacted the Primrose police to find out if they have noted an increase in gate motor theft in the area.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police, commented that the police were not aware of an increase in this type of crime in the area.<\/p>\n

The GCN also contacted the metro and Ward 21 councillor Tania Campbell for comment on the condition of the roads and street lights in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe complaints have been sent to the roads department,\u201d said Campbell.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe relevant departments have put the matters on their rosters; unfortunately I cannot say when this will be attended to as this is not the only complaint on their rosters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Themba Gadebe, spokesman for the metro commented: \u201cThe reported faulty street lights have been fixed and are in a working condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cA team has been sent to patch the potholes in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n
