“The potholes have become so bad that the road was unusable. If we didn’t take the trouble to fix them ourselves, nothing would be done. We have asked JRA time and time again, but JRA just don’t care,” stated Wendy Scully, a resident of the street.

Scully states she would encourage others to fix potholes as well.
