NWA Whatever You Do Put People at the Centre

Letter From A Supporter:



Dear Vernon. 

I live on Stony Hill Road near the intersection of Stony Hill Road and New Stony Hill Road. 

I was awakened at 3:15 this MORNING by the sound of the engines of stationary heavy trucks, horns and the incessant beeping sound made by two different heavy vehicles reversing. 

I am tempted to go out to the road but it is still dark.  I strongly suspect that this is the National Works Agency working on Constant Spring Road between 9pm and 4am. 

The release had said that they would start at Ministry of Justice on Constant Spring Road, and end at Manor Park. 

The area where all this raucousness is occurring is not Manor Park. 

There is only 1 dwelling (domestic) house left on Constant Spring Road which is almost across the road from the big Scotiabank building between Mary Broen’s Corner and Msnor Park. There being only 1 dwelling house makes it ideal for the NWA to do night work. 

But going above Manor Park towards Stony Hill along Stony Hill Road is a residential area where it is UNREALISTIC AND UNREASONABLE to do road work at 3 am. Whose idea was this!?!?!

I work hard!!! I need to sleep!!!!! I kid you not, this is like being in a concentration camp!!! I am trying to sleep amid all this noise!!!! And the fumes too! 

Please tell Mr Stephen Shaw that this is not okay.  I cannot manage this. We cannot manage this. 

It is 4 am and they just left but I am now fully awake and breathless (the fumes got to me) and coughing and FULLY AWAKE. 

Please investigate what is going on with this. Are the coming back tomorrow at 3am? 

Thanks,

Sleepless in Stilwell Road


Editors Note:

The NWA, National Works Agency, should send a letter of apology to the residents of the area for the disturbance and the sleepless night the people endured. 

This blog will be sent to Mr. Everton Hunter, the head of the NWA.

  1. Wow! 3:00 AM. What type of message were they sending. Looks like a move with politics written all over it. Infrastructure is extremely important including repairing of roads but so early in the morning.Is this a way of suggesting to the people that the government is been loyal to the people of Jamaica. Let's wait and see.

  3. In most developed countries, major roadways are fixed at night so as not to cause a traffic disruption. I think it is quite reasonable for you to tolerate a little inconvenience so that you can drive to work in a nice road in a timely manner. So hush man, one lickle night a bleaching nah go kill yu

    1. The courteous thing to do is to advise residents in advance. If we treat people with respect, we will build a society where we all respect one another. The attitude that 'one licke night bleaching nah go kill yu', is an insensitive approach. That attitude will not help to build a modern country where we live in peace and harmony.

  4. Exactly why there is no "bite" to the Noise Abatement Act.

  5. There goe's the not in my back yard thinking again.
    Let's do it during the day when someone else will be inconvenienced . How about the person who did the night shift last night and need to sleep during the day. A project such as this will always require some level of tolerance.
    Perhaps you could stay by a relative or a friend for a few nights.
