Another chapter in the Arch Cot saga was written last Saturday.
Two houses were demolished to make way for the repositioning of the road leading into the district.
The properties, once owned by Joan Glasgow and Bonita Medford, were torn down by workers of the Ministry of Transport & Works (MTW)?as residents looked on, with some recording the event for posterity while recounting stories of the August 26, 2007 tragedy.
A third property which sits dangerously on the brink of the gaping hole of the cave is also due to be demolished “some time this week”, according to MTW?workers.
