THE ROCK HARD Cement Company has been ordered to take down a concrete structure being erected to store the product at Spring Garden, St Michael.

Town and Country Planning agents moved in yesterday just before 3 p.m. and posted an enforcement notice on the still incomplete building within view from the highway.

The action comes 19 days after Town Planning officials tore down an illegal structure at Diamond Avenue, Rock Dundo, St Michael, and warned that big or small, rich or poor, it would not tolerate anyone erecting buildings illegally. It was the second structure to come down within weeks following lengthy notification from the agency that regulated construction.

Deputy Chief Town Planner George Browne yesterday confirmed to the SATURDAY SUN that the enforcement notice was served, but said he could give no further details at the time.

Please read the full story in today’s Saturday Sun, or in the eNATION edition.
