When the Daily Liberal asked residents where the worst potholes in the Dubbo LGA were, one Stuart Town resident mentioned Alexander and Cohen Street were some of the worst they had ever seen.
"I've had no car damage yet, but caring for my elderly uncle I am very sure an ambulance would not be able to get to us at the moment," they said.

With ongoing road works between Geurie and Wellington, residents have still had their fair share of issues. One particular resident had to get new tyres after two tyres were "busted" at the front and back of their vehicle.
