What will they think of next!? - Dob in a pothole

Queensland Main Roads is trying to combat the problem of potholes by asking Queenslanders to dob in a pothole. Main Roads Minister Craig Wallace said "I ask road users to call Main Roads on 131940 and listen to the prompts to report any potholes." "We all hate potholes and I ask people to dob them in, when and where they find them." For those travelling large distances to and from work, good roads are a priority for the safety of drivers and for the longevity of their vehicles.
Central Highlands Mayor Peter Maguire said council was aware there were a number of potholes on local roads. He wants local potholes reported. "These have been developing as a result of the recent rain over several months, combined with the amount of use our roads are getting while the ground is still soft and saturated," he said. "I would encourage anyone who sees potholes to report them to their local council office. Pothole repairs are performed by a special crew using specialised equipment. We try to organise the work so they can do a significant amount of work in one area in a timely and effective manner."
