Ville Platte resident, Dianne Deal, says, “If we have a disaster, it’s going to be a mess trying to get out with how the streets are.”

Ville Platte residents in Renassaiance Place housing say they are tired of their roadways.

They tell me the roads are dangerous for them to drive on, especially at night. the roads have deep potholes which residents say causes accidents.

Deal explains, “One car hit the pothole, turn around, next car hit the pothole and they collided with each other.”
