The deep potholes on the roads in the community of Mocha/Arcadia are becoming a nuisance. One senior citizen reportedly twisted her ankle in one. It left the woman incapacitated for more than a month.
Vehicle owners are “feeling the squeeze” because maintenance of their vehicles is becoming increasingly costly as a result of the numerous potholes.
Residents continue to complain about the state of the roads in the community. They are calling on authorities to do something about the devastating conditions of the road ways.
Chairman of the community, Mr. Gregory John, said that residents of the community owe more than $6M in rates and taxes and as such, there are not enough funds for maintenance.
However, a maintenance programme is expected to be undertaken in the future to repair the southern half of First Street, Arcadia.
