Won’t be long before the stretch of Middle Road and Devonshire Marsh falls in. Large cracks and heavy construction equipment, similar to the road by Saltus.
Your are 100% correct. Sad thing is that none of the Gov ministers that read your comment or drive past there will do anything about it Neither will any of the many people that work in the ministry responsible. They will all pretend they didn’t know rather than. be proactive. Until we get closer to an election. Then the ministers will and election hopefuls will start working to save paychecks.
Maybe they have on head phones and can’t hear or dark glasses abd can’t see. Or they basically don’t care until it happens. So very very sad.
Wow! NO SURPRISE! It is April 16 and the Wall is only half Built! So much for scheduling. A private company would have been had it done, replanted new hedges and swept the road clean. This Government is an EMBARRASSMENT TO IT’s people! They are shameful. This goes to the bosses, PS and Minister without calling names.
Ok, How about Saltus Wall from last year August? How about Scour Hill wall ready to fall in!?
How about south Road hill at the bottom, Paget, by the Tennis courts? The wall is separating from the road.
This is just the West End. Must be some more Central and East. Don’t talk about the POTHOLES and STRESS CRACKS in many of the roads. Quality of life continues to Downward Spiral……………
But the good Lt. Col. is keeping Bermudians employed!
