About Colchester Potholes

This Web site serves as a photographic pothole database for Colchester County, Nova Scotia. Before heading out on a nice Sunday drive, we encourage you to view the reader contributed "pothole hotspots" in and around Colchester County to make your drive more enjoyable and, of course, to lessen the potential damage to your vehicle.

Many MANY thanks to Sharon D. for helping me with Colchester Potholes!

The reason I started this Web site, really came about from hearing horror stories from others in my community who have suffered through car damage and on occasion - a little fright while driving Colchester County roads. This Web site formed mostly out of sheer disbelief at what I see driving to and from work each and every day, and realizing that the roads appear no different then they did last year.

I don't believe the "patch and forget about it" ideology that we seem to have here in Colchester County is working for anyone. Many of the potholes I see in my area are holes that were patched up last year and are now holes once again. I'm seeing the gravel road underneath some areas washing out from under the pavement.  It is not safe.

These are the same roads that you, I and our children travel on everyday.

For the life of me, with property taxes on the rise each year, not to even mention the amount of provincial taxes each and every one of us pays when we put gas in our vehicle, I just can't understand why year after year the potholes and poor road conditions remain in Colchester County.

Thanks for stopping by & checking out Colchester Potholes! You can contribute to this Web site by sending in your pothole photographs. Stories will also be published if you'd like to submit them.
