Silver Sands residents are demanding long-promised road resurfacing, saying years of patchwork repairs have left roads across the district in deplorable condition.
When Barbados TODAY visited, some motorists were driving on the wrong side of the road to avoid potholes, while others slowed considerably as they navigated rough sections to avoid potentially damaging their vehicles.
Residents said some roads have not been resurfaced in more than 30 years and complained that patchwork repairs often wash away during heavy rainfall, leaving the roads in an even worse condition.
