I hope the fix the WORST GUTTER in Antigua on Old Popeshead Road. Motorists and residents have been begging for help for over 20 years now…
We are still awaiting the engineers’ concept pictures of the project. Will the gutters be paved? Will there be sidewalks? Will there be street lights? Will there be two or three lanes? What colour lane markers will be used? Will culverts be built around the scores of storm pipes installed across the road?
How can we get this information?
The BHM plant at North Sound is ready for producing the bitumen, but the road works are still many months away from being ready. Why has preparitory work being going so slowly in such an ad hoc manner?
It is quite obvious that project management is the first major problem. The “left hand” does not know what the “right hand” is doing. I watched APUA take months to lay its water pipes, only to see BHM puncture them by accident, just west of the Woods Mall.
If there is a project manager or management team, then I have never heard or seen them. At the start of the project, Civil Engineer, Francis Clark, spoke to the media and engaged the public on their concerns. He has long returned to the Bahamas. Since then, his successor is nowhere to be seen or heard. We, the public, only hear from Ms George and other PROs. They are not the ones with the engineering plans. They cannot answer the public. Sending her out to the public to do their job is a serious indictment against the engineering team.
This cannot continue. We need answers and schedules. If this cannot be done, then the management team MUST BE SACKED!!!
Are the road working of today still lazy as those of the past. I mean ten men standing around one man with a shovel
