Langeberg Municipality is aware of the condition of roads in its municipal area and has been working on solutions to attend to the matter.
One of the short-term solutions is to repair the potholes and clean stormwater channels in the towns, according to a Pothole Repair Programme.
Due to the huge backlog in funding for the resurfacing and rehabilitation of our roads, there is an increase of potholes, especially during the rainy season. The much-needed rain not only makes it difficult to fix roads, but the wet conditions also contribute to further deterioration of the road surface.
During this time of the year, the municipality temporarily repairs potholes by filling them with a stabilised mixture, to ensure road surface remains in a drivable state as much as possible. The more permanent fixing of potholes will be done as the weather permits.
Langeberg Municipality urges the community to log complaints of potholes, uneven road surfaces, damaged pavements and road signage to the 24/7 customer call centre.
Contact it on 0860 88 1111, WhatsApp 065 211 7822 or e-mail info@langeberg.gov.za.
Reported potholes will be added to the Potholes Repair Programme. Roads with high volume of traffic are prioritised. All potholes reported will receive attention according to the programme.
The following roads have several potholes and will be prioritised during the month of July. The civil works team does its best to stay on schedule, but it is subject to the weather and other urgent matters that require the team’s attention such at pipe bursts, stormwater issues and breakdowns among other things.
