Please remind your contractors to utilize traffic cones or signs to warn drivers of their presence. There were several road crews out last week with no cones or signs.

I see Annaly was removed from the list, is this intentional? It was listed in previous versions and is in serious disrepair due to the May rains. I could fit a baby Hippo in one of them Potholes 🦛🕳️

Lemon Tree Road in Estate Wintberg is getting bad. People have started putting concrete in the potholes.
