COMMENT ON THE PERFORMANCE OF ROADS AND STORMWATER DRAINAGE OVERALL:
We have done gravel road maintenance in all towns during the financial year. The challenge was that the municipally had to hire road construction plant which was used in the maintenance because the municipality does not have the necessary plant.
We also have a significant challenge with potholes, this problem was not addressed as there was no funding to do this.
