🕳️🚗 Potholes are causing chaos in Caerphilly, and local businesses are feeling the pinch! Mair Arthur, the landlady of the White Cross Inn, has seen her pub become almost unreachable due to the state of the roads. Taxi firms have stopped venturing into the village because the pothole damage is just too costly.
Despite numerous patch-up jobs, the roads in Groeswen are still in bad shape, leaving the entire village, including the local chapel, struggling with access issues. Mair calls the temporary fixes a “complete waste of time and money.”
It’s not just Mair who’s fed up. Local councillors report that residents are suffering and have carried out an astounding 56 patch-up jobs on Groeswen Road over two years! 😲
But there’s hope on the horizon. Caerphilly County Borough Council is putting an additional £2.6 million from Welsh Government funding to use. The plan? Resurface 25 critical road stretches, with Groeswen Road high on the list 📈.
Council leader Jamie Pritchard reassures the community that they’re listening and committed to making swift improvements. Let’s hope these changes will soon end the pothole misery and restore normalcy to Caerphilly’s roads!
Stay tuned for updates and fingers crossed for smoother roads ahead! 🤞 #Caerphilly #CommunityUpdates #PotholeProblems
