THE GOVERNMENT HAS CALLED ON THE PUBLIC TO ASSIST IN ERADICATING POTHOLES

“Some 51,271 citizens have downloaded the free App – available on IOS and Android phones – and reported some 26,699 potholes. The Pothole App allows the user to take a picture of the pothole while the system automatically records the GPS location, eventually sending the information to the relevant authority, depending on the location.”
