Good Day Mr. Derby:
I finally got a chance to write you about my concern
regarding the condition of the road in Manchester Porus P O. The specific road
is Hampton Road that leads to Mandeville. The entrance of Hampton Road leading
up to the pumping station has been in a deplorable condition for more than 10
years. The National Water Authority uses this entrance on a daily basis going
back and forth collecting water for distribution throughout the smaller
districts in Manchester. Hampton Road pumping station is the hub for
water distribution in Manchester.
The heavy-duty trailers have inflicted serious damage to the
roads by going back and forth daily collecting water. The residents in the District of Hampton Road
have been asking the authorities including the politicians and water officials
to fix the road to make it safe for them.
The potholes are unsafe for walking and also for drivers who need to
navigate this road on a regular basis.
The residents have demonstrated using civil disobedience but nothing
seems to work or get the attention of the anyone in charge of fixing the
problem.
The local
representative for the area is Ms. Claudia Morant –Baker (JLP) and the MP is
Mr. Michael Stewart (PNP). Politics
sometimes gets in the way of progress but I hope we can move beyond that and
get things done for the residents of the community.
I hope you are able to contact the correct individuals,
speak with them about this matter because it is important that the road get
fixed once and for all. I have heard you
speak to the water commissioner many times and have gotten his attention. I also know you might be able to speak to the
local politicians and MP to see what they can do.
Again, thank you for your service and
civic duty. God bless you and continue your good work on behalf of the citizens
of Jamaica especially Hampton Road Porus
P.O. Manchester Jamaica.
