A Cardiff street has been resurfaced in a way that will leave people scratching their heads.
Pentre Place in Grangetown is a small side street that connects Penarth Road to Pentre Gardens.
As seen by the Local Democracy Service only the sides of the street have been resurfaced, leaving the middle of the road unrepaired.
As it stands the middle of the street is covered in potholes and cracks down the majority of its length while the sides of the road seemed well-maintained.
The issues in the road range from small cracks to large potholes.
A spokesman for Cardiff Council said: “The council is carrying out a regeneration scheme in Grangetown which involves improvements to both Merches Place and Pentre Place.
“This includes resurfacing on both roads as well as providing new paving, new bollards, and new lining for resident parking bays so that a new zonal parking system can be implemented to give residents a better opportunity to park their vehicle close to their home.
“During the resurfacing works on Pentre Place on April 13 an abandoned car restricted access to the middle section of the carriageway and, along with other unforeseen issues, the planned works could not be completed.
“The contractor is due to return in the coming weeks to complete the remaining work on Pentre Place.”
Potholes and the general conditions of the roads have been a hot topic in Cardiff with council spending on repairs roads reaching a decade-high point last year.
In 2025, as revealed by a freedom of information request, the council spent £5,773,619 on road surfacing, £72,469 on potholes, and £1,509,276 on patching.
This is an increase on 2024 which saw the council spend £2,988,326 on surfacing, £48,484 on potholes, and £1,038,825 on patching.
