The Alliance for Change (AFC) yesterday said that the state of some of the country’s roadways is of concern given the fact that large sums of money are being paid to contractors to do the works.
Region Eight Chairman Mark Crawford told reporters at the party’s weekly press conference that residents there are fed up with the state of the roads. He later displayed a number of photographs that showed in some cases roads which are impassible. In addition to having numerous pot holes which were filled with water, they were also slushy.
Reading from a prepared statement he said that persons accessing the main services at Mahdia are forced to navigate through numerous potholes to get to their destination.
“The access roads to the Post Office, Police Station, GGMC Mines Office and the Hospital are all in a deplorable state”, he said
