What needs attention?

The inner road networks in Wadduwa are in need of repair and modernization, contributing to a less developed, rural atmosphere in the area.
Extremely high volumes of traffic along the Galle Road makes for unnecessarily long commutes for individuals travelling towards Colombo.
A need for infrastructure development to keep pace with real estate growth.
Limited retail options across the market spectrum.
Lack of government hospitals and reliable healthcare institutions in the immediate vicinity.
The past few years have seen a notable climb in the rate of petty crimes (particularly petty theft), and this can be largely attributed to the civil unrest arising from the economic crisis.
Lack of waste management and environmental conservation efforts to address littering and pollution along the coastline.
