Ministry of Transport and Works officials completing road repairs in Goodland, St. Michael yesterday.
“It has only been five days since we came down here and put down the flag and the pothole has been fixed and they commended us for that. We are hoping to see all the others that we have marked fixed, as well as the many others that are out there. We are hoping that our pothole report initiative launched only yesterday [Monday] will certainly help to identify where all those potholes are and assist the Ministry in getting to them to fix them,” she said.
Meanwhile, one resident of the area told this newspaper that he is “pleasantly satisfied” and said that the work done by the Ministry of Transport and Works will be of benefit not only to motorists using that road, but pedestrians as well, who he said were often splashed with water which settled in the potholes, as vehicles traversed the area. The resident who spoke on condition of anonymity said the potholes were becoming a “public nuisance” and he is very happy with the speed with which they were addressed after being highlighted. (JRT)
