The letter “Goodwood roads crumble in rain”<\/a> which appeared in the TygerBurger dated 2 July, refers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would like to agree with D. Beelders of Vasco, that the roads in Goodwood are in a shocking state, and the rain doesn’t help. I had occasion to go down Kimberley Street from Milton Road and it was full of potholes from Milton to Carey Slater. Milton also had a pothole or two in after Alice Street going towards the M7. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The City of Cape Town is quick to present an increased budget and Hoosain Abrahams is on some or other committee that wants to develop Goodwood into a City Improvement District, but I think they should first do something about the state of the roads. Townsend Street between Milton and C.J.Langenhoven is a wonderful example of a section that has been standing un-tarred for close on a year already, causing cars, taxis and trucks to try and travel on the wrong side of the road to avoid the huge “donga” that has formed there. Of course, because the intersection of Voortrekker Road and Jakes Gerwel Drive is a bit of a conundrum, many motorists, especially taxis, think they can avoid it by going along Townsend Street instead, so I don’t expect the road will be pothole free for long. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please repair the roads in Goodwood, even the manhole covers, etcetera are lower than the roads, which cause the cars to try and avoid them.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
