EDITOR, The Tribune.

I rent Nissan Xtrail SUVS here in South Eleuthera. Just today I rented a customer a SUV. Not more than an hour driving south, my customer called reporting having dropped in a pothole and he got a flat tyre. As a result, the customer damaged the aluminium rim and had to abandon the vehicle just south of Rock Sound, Eleuthera. Sir, your constituency.

Sir, yours and the government’s neglect of the roads is appalling. You are causing havoc and additional cost and suffering on car owners in Eleuthera. Potholes do not discriminate. They damage all cars even those of your supporters. Is this any level of respect paid to them?

It is so easy to organise a crew to continually pay attention to potholes. This level of disrespect for motorists in Eleuthera is telling.

You are not here to suffer in your travels. We are here every day watching the roads demise into potholes. What will your public do in response to this level of disrespect? And, sir, who will pay for my damaged tyres? Did you get a flat tyre while in Dubai, New York or England? Did you observe the standards abroad? The Bahamas is in need of standards.

In fact, all of our utilities are failing us. What a mess. Are these offerings recommended offerings to our tourists? How about our locals? Our natives?
