Government officials say roadside mechanic operations are creating safety, sanitation and traffic concerns and must be relocated to designated areas as enforcement efforts intensify.

Speaking on the Browne and Browne programme on Pointe FM over the weekend, officials said some mechanics have already been offered alternative locations but continue to operate along roadways, blocking traffic and creating public hazards.

They said enforcement will follow where relocation options are ignored, as part of broader efforts to improve order, safety and cleanliness in communities across the country.

  1. Gaston Browne, you are not my favorite politician tall, tall, tall, but the day you enforce this law, me might just embrace ABLP.
    At least 3 mechanic shops in Bolans and them mess up the roads they are on and have the traffic well well frigged up, sometimes you have to turn back and change your route. Please do something fast. Best thing me ever hear from you

  2. Number 1 Problem in My Area

    Johnsons and Skeritts Pasture ……… Oh My Lord … Littered with Them

    By Mad People town there’s a mechanic with over 25 cars, just blocking the road. Simple So. Oil from the mechanic shop and oil from the Chinese restaurant, both clash to give you a unique smell 2 DIE 4. The fries smell like an old diesel engine and ur car smell like pork fry rice.

    How do you have a mechanic and a restaurant sharing the same space ?

    Below him is another mechanic with one tun a car go alllll the way down the road. So much that nobody really use the road due to frequent traffic disruptions.

    Up the road U have the one name Scabalough. Always a disrupt traffic on the curve. Traffic jam by his place every afternoon.

    Then on the concrete alone U have 2 a THEM.
    One have the road littered with Rav4 Ratta Codominiums.

    Then theres one by Government WorkShop. Traffic disruption and Oily Ratta Smell All Day. When it rains, U c the black oily petroleum contaminated water just running the road.

    But wait …. me na done.

    Down by the Spanish them, A Million Old Subaru just a hold a vibe on the road and in the bush. Me see ratta, centipede and cockroach a play domino in a Subaru Forester on a Monday evening,

    The AREA is filthy with car parts. There’s an oily rusty smell on every road, EVERY Road. Constant traffic disruptions due to cars BLOCKING THE CORNER, or some man a lie down pan piece a old carboard in the road. The place is sickening.

    Pleassssse. Do Something About It

    When U spray the “X” on the vehicles, all they do is wipe it off.
