Potholes nightmare in Portmore

T HE EDITOR, Madam:

The people of Portmore are extremely frustrated and disgruntled about the potholes riddled roads that are all over the municipality. These massive potholes are more like craters than potholes and are not only a threat to our vehicles, but a threat to life and limb.

I know of several persons who have been involved in motor vehicle accidents because of these craters. In addition, they make an already bad traffic situation even worse. The people of Portmore deserve better, we pay our taxes like everybody else, and it is not fair for us to endure this road hazard, morning, noon and night. The government is busy touting its latest initiatives, SPARK and REACH, and these are not sparking or reaching us here in Portmore.

In addition, the National Works Agency’s work on Passagefort Drive has been a complete fiasco. We were told this would have been completed by September, but we are now approaching the end of October, and the completion of that project is nowhere in sight. We are demanding the urgent repairs of our roads, so we can have a better quality of life, as we deserve no less.
