Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill yesterday acknowledged that the widening of Cemetery Road should have been completed already.
In a statement, the Minister said: “It is clear that the contractor has not done what he said he would do – and I make no apologies for saying that.” Avinash Contracting is doing the roadworks.
Edghill said: “Following a frank conversation this morning, the decision was taken that the contractor should submit a revised work programme to show that he can complete the work by the end of (this) March, which is the date he committed to. Should the work not be completed by that time, the contractor will be terminated and removed from the project site, and the Ministry of Public Works will make alternative arrangements to complete the project”.
