UPP caretaker appeals to Works Minister to address the roads in St. Phillip’s North and relieve the suffering of residents

Alex Browne, the United Progressive Party (UPP) caretaker for St.
Phillip’s North, is expressing frustration about the condition of the
roads in the constituency.
 
Speaking specifically to Parsons Mall, Browne describes the road
network as a disaster. He says the surfaces were bad before the
recent rains, but now they are in an even worse state.
 
He acknowledges that the area is a fairly new development that has
been progressing nicely, but the roads have never been paved.
 
Accordingly, Browne says that not even vehicles can maneuver on
the roads; and he recounts being told by a motorist that he lost his
bumper while driving in the area.
 
Residents, he says, have to be placing plastic bags on their feet to
prevent their shoes being mired in the mud.
 
The area, Browne adds, is very hilly; therefore, when it rains and the
water and dirt wash down onto the already bad roads, it creates a
disaster area.
 
The UPP caretaker is making an appeal to Minister of Works Maria
Browne to move earnestly to have these roads repaired.
 
Browne says there are other roads in the constituency also in urgent
need of repair, including in the village of Seatons. And, according to
the caretaker, the people in that community are suffering terribly.

Meanwhile, Browne says that another concern is the overgrown
bushes all over the constituency, especially in the Newfield area.
 
Due to the Government’s failure to pay the contractors, Browne
says, they have not been doing their best to keep the sides of the
roads cleaned.
