    Does the BVI have a Government? Or a minister of Communications? Lord have mercy!! Tis the bad roads trust me..Where is the promised to fix the roads? I am so outraged at the complacency, the dunkya attitude when it comes to the infrastructure!!

    This should be considered a national emergency requiring calls for help to all entities at home and abroad!! The powers that be in the BVI have no shame! Fix the Roads NDP

      Don't try and get political mileage through others misfortune. The road looks good on the pictures. It has been said one of the vehicles was in the wrong side of the road, seems more like bad driving than bad roads. Now there are areas where the roads truly do need work I agree.
