Residents of Laqlaye’ neighborhood in the city of Taounate are living a worrying situation due to the clear deterioration of the road at the entrance of the neighborhood, where the widespread potholes have turned into a daily source of suffering, amid the absence of any tangible intervention by the competent authorities to fix the situation.
Local actors reported that a number of citizens were forced to place quantities of soil randomly inside the potholes, as a temporary attempt to reduce damage to vehicles and facilitate pedestrian movement, especially after the recent rainfall, which increased the fragility of this road section.
These individual initiatives raise questions among residents about the role of the municipal council in maintaining infrastructure, particularly since the road is considered a main entrance to the neighborhood and witnesses daily movement by residents and means of transport. Observers of local affairs believe that resorting to primitive solutions reflects a growing feeling of marginalization, as if the residents—according to their expression—do not fulfill their tax obligations.
Local sources warn that the continuation of the current situation may lead to increased risks, whether in terms of traffic accidents or material damage, in addition to its negative impact on the image of the neighborhood and living conditions within it.
While awaiting the intervention of the concerned authorities to rehabilitate this road section according to the approved technical standards, residents are calling for the scheduling of an urgent repair that would put an end to daily suffering that recurs with every rainy season and restore basic services within the city.
