A new pothole has developed along the 200-metre stretch of Thomas Road, Thomas Lands, Georgetown, which was recently rehabilitated, and it is posing a fresh danger to vehicular traffic.

In addition to the pothole, this newspaper observed that the rehabilitated road also appears to be sinking on the northern side, in the vicinity of the National Park.

When this newspaper contacted the Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill yesterday, he noted that there was a failure with the asphalt which resulted in the pothole. However, he stated that under the liability clause specified by the contract, the contractors will be required to fix it.
