The Ministry of Public Works is re-grassing sections of the seawall embankment along the Rupert Craig Highway even as it continues to be challenged by Sunday evening activities that interfere.
Vending and other activities along the wall, particularly between Sheriff Street and Conversation Tree, have caused the vegetation to deteriorate and the ministry had started laying out clay in the patches to re-grass the area. However, the area continues to be trampled.
This was clearly evident after the recent Easter holiday even though small barricades had been erected around the patches that had not been filled with clay. In order to remedy the situation quicker the contractor would need to have more freedom to get the work done as restraining persons from the area may pose a bigger challenge for the division.
