Not ‘roadworthy’
Landslides in several parts of the Scotland District have scores of residents on edge today.
Recent heavy rains have flooded their neighbourhoods and moved the ground beneath them, shifting foundations and leaving some houses in peril.
Fearful residents have told the SATURDAY?SUN that assurances that remedial work would be done in their communities have so far not been met, and they’re just as angry about being ignored as they are afraid of what could happen to them and their homes.
While they wait for promised relief, pedestrians and vehicles continue the perilous journey on partially collapsed roads, like this one in Suriname, St Joseph. (Picture by Clifton Henry.)
