She first commended the departments and volunteers who have been working tirelessly to assist the people of the territory, noting that she had to point out the "enormous pot holes".

The displeased resident said, "Let me first say that I appreciate all the work and dedication over the past months from various service men and volunteers but I have to point out that the enormous pot holes that are in the road have little to do with Hurricane Irma."

Ms Weeks further pointed out that the bad roads were horrible before the passage of Hurricane Irma and have gotten worse to the point where it is becoming dangerous.

Passionate appeal

Meanwhile, she emphasised that things are very difficult but is appealing for the roads to be fixed, adding that tourist season will begin soon.

"I am appealing to the persons responsible for road work. I know that things are difficult right now but please, please do something about this. The Minister mentioned that tourist season will begin in November... Is this what the tourist will have to deal with?" said Ms Weeks.

She continued, "We are in recovery mode and I think everyone would agree with me that these pot holes should take priority. We have been complaining about this way before the hurricane and floods and now it is down right unbearable."

The frustrated resident pointed out that persons in the territory saved what was left of their vehicles following hurricane Irma and the pot holes are making things worse.

Temporary fix

Meanwhile, Minister for Communications and Works Hon Mark H. Vanterpool (R4) said government will be focusing on some temporary fixes to some of the road while others will be rebuilt at a later time.

"We are starting a programme to at least temporarily rehabilitate some of them...and then we have a longer term plan to rebuild a number of them as we have started before, so we are moving in that direction," Hon Vanterpool told this news site.
