The roads have become so bad in an area of Derry that if they're not repaired immediately it could cause a health and safety hazard, according to a councillor.
SDLP Councillor Shauna Cusack said she had contacted the Department for Infrastructure regarding the state of a number of roads and streets in and around Rosemount.
She said that the state of some of the roads in the estate had become so bad that some would even be considered too dangerous to drive on.

"We all understand that the pandemic put a lot of projects and indeed promises on hold but now there can be no excuse for further delays or fobbing off," said Cllr Cusack.
"I have noticed a large number of surfaces throughout my constituency which are simply in an unacceptable state, some even what I would consider dangerous.
"The residents of Northland Parade and Crescent have been promised the same upgrade their neighbours in Northland Drive received over four years ago and still nothing but patchwork, in an area circa 60 years old.
"This is the same throughout Rosemount Avenue and indeed all the side streets. Rosemount's roundabout is in a shocking condition itself.
"The volume of traffic at this junction is huge and constant, yet the uneven surface and poor marking, in my opinion, is a serious health and safety concern.
"I have contacted the Department regarding these issues and asked for a response with timelines for works and a look forward to a positive proactive reply, the patient people of Rosemount deserve this."
The Department of Infrastructure has been contacted for comment.
