Dilapidated Riverstown revetment leads to flooding

Residents walking in the flooded water 

A decrepit revetment at Riverstown, in Region Two, is being blamed by residents for the flooding of their homes on Friday.

Residents of the school street area were forced to use bags of sand in order to stop the flow of water into their homes and also move their household items to higher ground in the event  the worst possibility occurs.  

According to residents, the issue is a recurring one, especially during the rainy season and high tides. The residents said they are currently frustrated as many of their rice lands and homes are currently inundated.
