KINGSTON - Minister within the Ministry of Public Infrastructure, Annette Ferguson, on October 16, inspected the roads that are being done by the Ministry’s Force Account Unit, in West Ruimveldt, and instructed that all roads there be upgraded.
West Ruimveldt is Hon. Ferguson’s constituency.
“…more roads will be done…I told the technical guys, that before coming out of the West Ruimveldt area, they are to do a thorough assessment…which roads are left to be done, let us make one thing, and complete all roads within the community,” Minister Ferguson explained.
She added that whilst she is pleased with the feedback from the residents, she is as well satisfied with the quality of work the Ministry’s Force Account Unit has done.
Within the past two weeks, approximately seven roads were completed, including Gilhuys Square, Shoppers Lane, Crescent Street, Industrial Site road, and Ice House road.
The Minister, during the inspection, lauded Lawrence Mentis, Chief Engineer of the Force Account Unit and his team for a job well done, as the roads, prior to now, were impassable in some areas, whilst others were in a serious state of disrepair.
