“Ward 102 spans over 15 square kilometres, so it was impossible to drive every road and visit every issue. What was a concerning common theme was the lack of visible road markings at key intersections across the Ward.”
Potter hopes that with the approved 2018/2019 Operational Expenditure Budget that road markings will be a key feature in the delivery of visible services.
“My office will continue to put pressure on the Joburg Roads Agency for such,” said Potter.
