The DA, in the metro, have shared their disgust at the continual deterioration of roads in Marlands and Primrose, despite several calls for action to the metro.<\/p>\n

In the past two months, the DA claims they’ve submitted petitions to the council, but these calls have been ignored by the metro.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The recent floods proved that the roads aren’t doing any better – in fact the situation is getting worse.<\/p>\n

In places, the top of the road has washed away and potholes continue to worsen.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The public transport and planning department seems to be understaffed, under-capacitated and overwhelmed by the work to be done on our roads, the DA claims; and believes that more contractors are needed to help deal with the worsening situation on the roads.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe roads are the veins of our economy and we need to ensure that they’re well maintained,\u201d said Ward 92 councillor, Clr Tiziana Plaskitt.<\/p>\n
