RELIEF COULD soon be coming to residents of White Hill, St Andrew.
Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler yesterday said that Government had retained some of the funds it received from its disaster insurance policy to fix a number of roads across Barbados, including the one at White Hill, St Andrew.
Speaking at a brief ceremony at Government headquarters, Bay Street, St Michael, where director of the CCRIF (formerly the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility), Faye Hardy, presented him with a “special payout memento”, Sinckler admitted however that Government had encountered some problems in its bid to upgrade the island’s roads.
“A part of those resources is still earmarked to go towards the restoration of White Hill, but there are some engineering and environmental challenges at White Hill that are not easily dispensed with.” (RB)
