Pothole campaign seeks 50k signatures for road repairs

A motorcycle passenger’s death in a crash that may have involved an unmarked pothole has sparked a Caribbean-wide online campaign petitioning governments to prioritise pothole repairs.

The Pothole Lobby, formed in Barbados and other Caribbean countries by digital entrepreneur and social advocate Charles Lewis, aims to collect at least 50 000 signatures.

Lewis, owner and founder of the US-based technology company Spice Holdings LLC told Barbados TODAY: “The Caribbean-wide road safety initiative is calling on road users to report potholes and sign a petition urging governments across the region to fix them. The campaign asks road authorities to prioritise hazards on busy routes and give communities clearer updates on when repairs are scheduled and completed.
