“In the Brittons Hill area, there is the propensity for groundwater flow and geological factors which make it an area of cave-in potential. The Energy and Natural Resource Department is of the opinion that this area should undergo a long-term geotechnical study and we have received approval from the Prime Minister and Cabinet,” he stated.
He said the scientific study was estimated to take about eight months and would include all of the areas in Brittons Hill from Valery to Collymore Rock.
