Work on Drainage System at New Cemetery Yet to Start
More than a month after approval was granted, work on installing a drainage system at the Tranquility Park Cemetery has not yet begun, according to a Cabinet briefing.
During the Thursday post-Cabinet press briefing, Director General of Communications Maurice Merchant said that while burials are taking place at the site, officials are still conducting evaluations and gathering resources. “Burials are taking place there and there’s still some evaluations being done and resources are being assembled to affect that much-needed installation of a drainage system,” he said.
Last month the government approved the installation of the system following flooding at the site after heavy rainfall led to significant water-logging.
Merchant did not provide a timeline for when the drainage work will begin. Efforts to reduce delays will be closely watched as the cemetery continues to be used.
