“Hitting a pothole even at the speed limit can pop a tyre, damage a car or even pose a physical threat to drivers and pedestrians. After months of complaints, a pothole is repaired… and after two weeks, it’s back to normal,” says the frustrated resident.

According to her, the municipality are using cheap materials, which is the reason for potholes being ‘born again’.
