Disaster waiting to happen on Spur Tree Road

THE EDITOR, Madam:
Three large, crater-like holes decorate the corner, right after descending the steep hill on the Spur Tree main road. Clearly, they are a disaster waiting to happen as they have got bigger, over last several months.
Serious navigating skills are required when approaching these craters. At times motorists have to drive far right, just to avoid causing damage to their vehicles. In this regard, they render themselves and other motorists vulnerable to accidents which can be fatal.
The questions ... do politicians use these roads? Has anyone made a report to the relevant authorities? Do accidents need to occur before they are fixed?
As citizens, we have a right to proper roads. As we commute, we need to feel safe that routes taken on a daily basis, especially the main roads, are free from craters and potholes.
Election campaign is in high gear – the prime minister, Opposition leader, members of parliament and their supporters are sure to continue their islandwide campaign and so at some point use this road. We then might see these craters attended to, as a result.
Hoping for speedy repairs to these craters.
