Road Dips Leave Homes Flooded

Poor resurfacing after water leak repairs has left roads uneven.

Residents in parts of the ninth northern constituency are struggling with pools of water outside their homes caused by sunken road surfaces, according to Northern Municipal Council member Abdulla Mubarak Belal Al Qubaisi.

He said the uneven roads, left after previous water leak repairs, trap wash water from homes and cars, making it difficult for elderly people and those with disabilities to reach their vehicles safely.

Al Qubaisi praised the Ministry of Works for repairing potholes but urged it to fully resurface affected roads instead of carrying out patchwork repairs.

He also called on residents to stop allowing wash water to flow onto streets and urged the Northern Municipality to raise public awareness on protecting road infrastructure
