Poor Maintenance Of Our Roads And Sewage Systems

These two reports below from Bark Di Trute Reporter Roy Rayon tell you a lot about how we fail to maintain our infrastructure promptly, and it ends up costing us far more in the long run. Do we have engineers at the NWA? I hope we get a competent head of the NWA soon who will make a big difference to the image of the government.

Thanks to Roy Rayon, who has a very strong community spirit.

The First Report

At the intersection of Shooters Hill and the Paul Bogle Highway, water caused the road to deteriorate two times. The people in charge of building the highway dug up the road and fixed the problem. Well, so they thought

It was about 3 to 4 months ago that they fixed it for a second time. The road is having the same issue again. Water is rising, and the asphalt is breaking up.

The Second Report

At the intersection of Stella Road and Paul Bogle High in Harbour View, there is a sewage backup. The odour is affecting the people nearby, and the pedestrians have to be careful when traversing the area.

Editor's Note

What Roy has reported here is nothing new. It could be a high water table creating the problem, or an underground stream is at that spot. I remember this problem below Bryce Church in Manchester and also Glastonbury in Trelawny. Are we going to continue fixing the road in this area rather than dealing with the underlying problem so that a few people can 'eat food'?

I believe that the way we maintain our roads is having a major negative impact on the government's ability to deal with other challenges.

  2. Foundation fren says...this is a grave issue with our roads and bridges. Where are the hydraulic and structural engineers . It appears that political henchmen from the party in power at the time are the ones that take on tve task of engineers,.. Incompetence and nepotism is at the root if this problem.
