AT FIRST IT was the wells but now the fear is guard walls in the housing areas are dangerous, too.

Concerned residents are wondering when their complaints to the National Housing Corporation (NHC) will be taken seriously.

Yesterday morning, after 8:30, Cheryl Rock, of #12 Hilton Row, Princess Royal Avenue, Pinelands, St Michael, was returning her daughter’s dog to the yard when a guard wall collapsed and injured her right leg.
