SOLDIERS MOVED INTO White Hill, St Andrew, yesterday to transport schoolchildren to and from school following the collapse of the road in the district.

Lieutenant Colonel Glyne Grannum, who organised the transportation, said the Defence Force was responding to a dire need in the community.

The bus was driven into the area from the north since the road leading into the village from Hillaby is impassable to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

While 18 children were transported to both the Hillaby/Turners Hall Primary and the Alleyne School yesterday, resident Carlitha Andrews said about 25 could be boarding the bus today. (MB)
