Retired koi farm owner Pat Donaldson, 69, called for something to be done.

‘My wife uses a wheelchair and we go in our car so we can sit and have a cup of coffee and look at the view of the islands as it is one of the few places we can,’ he said.

‘You go to look at the view and what you see is such a disgrace.’

The potholes have become so deep that the couple’s Renault Kangoo rocked a great deal which made it very hard for his wife in her wheelchair in the back and for him to drive.

‘It is a low-slung car and is not designed for those sort of bumps,’ he said.

‘A lot of old people go there to watch the boats, but it is becoming dangerous.’

An Environment spokesman said there would be no repairs to the site this year.

‘The department regrets the inconvenience to drivers caused by the unsatisfactory surface of the Bordeaux car park, which has been exacerbated by recent heavy rain. The department’s budget for repairs in 2009 is now fully spent.’
