The condition of a road in Mount Joy which has angered residents and motorists is to receive attention, the government has announced.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Member of Parliament for All Saints West Constituency,\u00a0Michael Browne, has brought to the Cabinet\u2019s attention a vexatious issue involving a supplier of sand and aggregates operating from the Mount Joy community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He reportedly said that as a result of large trucks carrying heavy loads, the surface of the roads leading to and from the homes in the Mount Joy area have been severely impacted and destroyed. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mud, water and deep indentations from truck tires, following heavy rainfall, now replace the smooth surface, making the roads impassable to residents and their automobiles. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Videos and photos of the road have been posted online and circulated widely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cabinet says it has asked the Minister of Public Works to develop a rehabilitation plan and to solve the problem of the trucks which disturb residents late and night until early in the morning. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Development Control Authority is also to work with the PWD to bring a permanent solution to this challenge.<\/p>\n
