While the past week has been filled with news of protests over bad road conditions in the southern part of Trinidad, the northern part of the island also is facing its own challenges—especially in the capital city, Port of Spain.
On Wednesday, Guardian photographer Nicole Drayton was able to capture a couple priceless images in the ‘holey’ capital.

For example, someone placed a plant in this hole at the corner Chacon Street and Independence Square, Port-of-Spain, so motorists will be aware of it while driving.
Motorists often find themselves playing an impromptu game of ‘chicken!’ as they encounter the city’s ‘holey-ness’. These motorists try to avoid this hole in the road, where a tyre was placed in it on South Quay, Port-of-Spain.

Pedestrians also have a rough time in the ‘holey’ city. These two ladies walk around this sign that alerts persons that the pavement is missing its cover, on Chacon Street and Independence Square, Port-of-Spain.
