WHAT'S NOT WORKING?
Roads like Airy Hill, <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: orange! important; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">Canoe</SPAN> Pond, Coloraine Street and Marson Town Road in Oracabessa, St. Mary.
Saying they need urgent repairs is an understatement.
If the relevant authorities are not going to fix the roads in Oracabessa, here is a suggestion: Change the name to 'O-rockyroadabessa' and declare ita tourist attraction.
Or better yet, the residents should plan the staging of an event, which has global significance, like say a <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: orange! important; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">Cricket</SPAN> World Cup, and they would definitely get their roads repaired.
SYNOPSIS OF THE SITUATION
Expect a hill and gully ride while travelling on the aforementioned roads in Oracabessa.
There is nothing delicate about travelling on Airy Hill. A more fitting name would have been 'Eerie Hill'. Gigantic cracks, ditches and potholes have formed a deadly trio that has done much harm to the roadway.
Suzette Gordon of Airy Hill said as bad as the road appeared when we visited, the ultimate disaster is in the rainy seasons.
"How the road look now is the least. You waan see it when rain fall, is a <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: orange! important; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">boat</SPAN> you waan to sail on it," she said.
