Industry minister seeking restoration of bridge at Border Fishing Village
MIIC Author
Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce, Senator Aubyn Hill has written to Works Minister Robert Morgan to seek intervention in facilitating renovations to an existing roadway at a connecting bridge at the Border Fishing Village in St Elizabeth.
Senator Hill says this will facilitate an installation of a safe walking pathway for business owners and clients who traverse the area.
He also adds that the intervention will improve environmental management and add to the aesthetics of the area.
Senator Hill also highlighted safety concerns raised by business owners and customers about the roadway from the border gateway entrance to the exit point.
He says there needs to be an installation of speed control measures to include speed bumps.
This would be done in an effort to reduce vehicle speeds as commuters pass through the area.
Senator Hill says there have been reports of large trucks frequently travelling at excessive speeds in close proximity to the shops.
