Carletonville motorists had to keep their eyes on the road while driving through Bluebell Street this week.

On November 2, a streetlight pole was almost ready to fall over onto the sidewalk next to No. 6. The pole was broken near the bottom, with the top section resting loose on top of it.

The top of the pole was stuck between the branches of a tree, which literally held it in place so that it did not fall on passing vehicles or pedestrians.

Only a few houses down the road, a tree had toppled into the street next to the Church of Mormon and was blocking half the traffic.

Although the Herald sent questions about the issues to the municipality the same day, no feedback was received by printing time.
