🚧 Just 24 hours after a fresh layer of tarmac was laid in Pwllheli town centre, mysterious holes have begun to appear! Residents are puzzled and raise eyebrows at the local council’s quality of work. The Maes recently underwent significant disruption for resurfacing, only to find out the ‘new’ road couldn’t hold up even a day! 📷 Photos quickly circulated online, sparking a debate on whether these are ‘potholes’ or ‘isolated defects’ as Cyngor Gwynedd claims.
😲 A local shared that the road surface, put down on Wednesday, started showing flaws by Thursday afternoon. Residents argue that no such issues existed before the repair work. The council insists it’s not uncommon for these ‘defects’ to emerge due to traffic and weather conditions. They’ve assured that the contractor is on the case to mend the situation swiftly. 🛠️
