Tanjaouis angry over state of roads

While a company has won a contract worth 8,475,600 dirhams to repair the potholes that have invaded Tangier, road users continue to suffer.

The mayor of the city of Tangier, Mounir Lymouri, has not been able to solve the pothole problem within a few weeks as he had promised. Apart from a few simple “touch-ups” near the municipal palace and a few streets in the city centre, the roads are still in poor condition. A big disappointment for road users. Disappointment expressed by municipal councillor Bilal Akouh in an interview with the website Achkayen. Like the members of the municipal council and all the inhabitants of the city, he said he was delighted with the national call for tenders number 2024/CT/12 launched by the municipality to eliminate the holes that are spreading throughout the city. Except that his joy was short-lived. “But after the signing of the contract and the start of the work to develop the city’s streets and their rehabilitation to rid them of the holes, we noted, as did public opinion, that the operation mainly concerned the main axes and arteries of the city, while most of the streets, especially the secondary ones, remained as they were, which means a daily hell for road users and for all the inhabitants of the city,” laments the elected official.
