Emergency work on the Matarkai road has stalled owing to the inclement weather, Chairperson of the Matarkai Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) Margret Lambert has said.
This comes one week after the NDC promised to carry out emergency work on the road which has been the centre of frustration for residents in the Port Kaituma area.
Lambert yesterday related that while the promise was to have a team commence short-term work on the road, beginning at Citrus Grove and extending to Fitzburg, to offer some relief to residents, rainfall has since impeded those plans.
However, she said, the work will commence as soon as good weather presents itself as the necessary machinery has already been procured and is on standby.
