The Town and Country Planning Department will remain closed for the rest of the week.

George Browne, the acting Chief Town Planner told THE NATION that a decision had been made to close the Garrison St Michael offices, which has been plagued by environmental issues, for the remainder of the week.

Staff walked off the job yesterday complaining about the state of the building which has been leaving a number of them falling ill with respiratory problems.

Browne said he was awaiting a decision from authorities on the next move. That department falls under the Prime Minister’s office.

It now joins the growing list of government buildings plagued by environmental problems. (MB)
