JPS has heightened its response to streetlight repairs - repairing 266 streetlights in St. Catherine, including the Municipality of Portmore, during the month of June.  The report on the Company's activities were made in the last Municipal Corporation and Parish Council meetings for the parish.

Reporting on St. Catherine, Customer Care Manager for the parish, Howard Whiteley, explained that JPS Teams had installed 79 new LED lights across the municipality of Portmore and  parish of St. Catherine combined.

He also made note of the work of teams on the ground, which have changed 72 poles across St. Catherine as part of efforts to improve the local infrastructure, in light of the hurricane season, as well as to maintain general safety standards.

It seems there has to be disaster for help to come in our communities.
Why cant there be a concerted effort to uplift brighten and lighten, make our island livable, secure and safe.
Is there an effort or plan to have projects all over the island like lighting, roads etc

This is good, so we lighten that area and leave the other parts dark. Ehhh what will the devils do? Move to the dark areas and start again. God help us

The lights on Mandela highway needs fixing because pass the stoplight where you drive to portmore non of those lights been working for awhile, the bypass is too dark as well, and the led lights not working out they're too dull and it's worse because they're far apart ,the highways need light's too .
