AN UNFINISHED ROAD in Rock Hall, St Philip, is fuelling the anger of several residents who are constantly bombarded by dust.
The residents say they have organized petitions and sent letters of complaint to the relevant authorities but have received no response to their cries.
Yesterday, residents complained to the DAILY NATION that they have suffered significantly from having to live in surroundings where “when it is dry it is the dust, and when outside is wet it is puddles” as a result of the ongoing roadworks, which started last October.
The residents also complained that the work was not “being done the way it should be or else all we wouldn’t got to put up with all this dust and large holes in the road”. They asked to no longer be ignored and urged authorities to give updates and a date for the completion of the work.
