ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- A hotline is now available for residents to report all road hazards to the Public Works Department.

Persons are asked to call 468-6006 to report fallen rocks on the road, damaged guard rails, pot holes, work materials seen on completed job sites and abandoned cones.

Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Communications and Works, Mr Anthony S. Mc Master said it was important to create a line of communication to get more persons involved in reporting areas of concern that might be harmful.  This, he added, will help to ensure public safety while providing quality service.

The hazard reporting hotline is expected to be available between the hours of 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM and persons can also call 468-9883 or 468-9882 after hours. In the event a phone operator is not available, callers can leave messages outlining details of the hazard.

The Public Works Department thanks the public for their assistance as they continue to enhance the road infrastructure network.
