Deplorable ‘B’ Field access road overdue for repairs – residents
Residents of Pattensen South, which is commonly referred to as ‘B’ Field, Sophia, are requesting Government’s intervention as the main access road is overdue for critical rehabilitation especially since the rainy season has brought more complications and discomfort for commuters.
A section of the main access road
According to residents, this main road and the other carriageways within the community serve over 5,000 residents and cater for approximately 150 personal vehicles. It has deteriorated significantly.
Residents noted that to date there has been absolute silence on the works to be done. Youths sometimes use builders’ waste and other materials to fill the gaping potholes. Another resident said that it is a wonder that some minibuses still transport people to and from the area.
“They know people work and need transportation so some minibuses continue to help when they can to go as far as possible. But the roads indeed are in a horrible state.” he said.
