I walk a lot and Thursday I was walking and happened upon a giant hole that in the dark almost just looked like a black spot in the concrete ( I’m sure someone with limited vision would have trouble seeing it; especially at night; the images here do not capture the scale or depth or how invisible it was at night )
There is no good number for urgencies that don’t need a soldier in body armour so I called the non-emergency number ( which of course still only goes to the paramilitary occupying forces )
They said they’d contact public works and let them know but they wouldn’t do anything that night and didn’t guarantee anything
Well it’s four days later and I just drove by and / of course the damned thing is still there without so much as a cone up
Assuming it hasn’t happened already someone ( probably elderly ) is inevitably not going to see this, step in it, and break their leg if not worse.
I get that you can’t fix it immediately but all it’d take is a baracade or one or several cones around it to make sure people see it
We pay these people endless amounts of money yet they can’t be arsed to go out and put a damned cone up.
