Taza: “Temporary Patching” of Road Potholes Sparks Public Outrage as Residents Demand Real Repairs

Recent road repair efforts by the Taza Municipality have sparked a wave of criticism on social media after images surfaced showing makeshift patching of deep potholes using soil and hot asphalt.

Many road users expressed frustration, arguing that these quick fixes will not last long, as the potholes are likely to reappear soon due to the superficial nature of the repairs. Activists also pointed out that such haphazard interventions not only fail to improve the city’s aesthetics but further contribute to its deterioration.

This incident has reignited debates over the quality of public works in Taza, where recent infrastructure projects have already exhibited serious defects, including cracks on the city’s ring road, an issue previously reported by Fes News.

Residents are questioning why long-term solutions are not being implemented to effectively address infrastructure issues, rather than relying on short-term fixes that waste public funds without real benefits. They are urging local authorities to review construction standards and enforce strict oversight of road projects to prevent such recurrent failures in the future.
