Langeberg Municipality is aware of the condition of the roads within our municipal area and has been working on solutions to attend to the matter.
Due to the huge backlog in funding for the resurfacing and rehabilitation of our roads, there is an increase of potholes, especially during the rainy season. The much-needed rain not only makes it difficult to fix roads, but the wet conditions also contribute to further deterioration of the road surface.
One of the short-term solutions is to repair the potholes and clean stormwater channels in the towns according to a Pothole Repair Programme.
POTHOLE REPAIR PROGRAMME
During this time of the year, we temporarily repair potholes by filling them with a stabilised mixture, to ensure road surface remains in a drivable state as much as possible.
The more permanent fixing of potholes will be done as the weather permits.
Langeberg Municipality urges the community to log complaints of potholes, uneven road surfaces, damaged pavements and road signage to the 24/7 customer call centre. Contact us at 0860 88 1111, WhatsApp 065 211 7822 or e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
Reported potholes will be added to the Potholes Repair Programme. Roads with high volume of traffic are prioritised. All potholes reported will receive attention according to the programme.
The civil works team do their best to stay on schedule, but it is subject to the weather and other urgent matters that require the team’s attention such at pipe bursts, stormwater issues and breakdowns among other things.
