Dominica: Public Works Minister, Rayburn Blackmoore, has been served notice by the people of Salisbury who said they are ready to take action to have their roads fixed, according to a report on the Dominica NewsOnline.
The minister is given one week “and no more” to respond to their request for dialogue on the road conditions of feeder roads in the area. Parliamentary Representative for Salisbury, Hector John, has warned that if Minister Blackmoore fails to respond to the community at the stipulated time, they won’t be responsible for what happens next, the DNO report said.
According to John, on November 24, 2011, the people of his constituency wrote to the works Minister asking for dialogue to address the matter of repairing feeder roads in Salisbury, Morne Rachette and Coulibistrie.
John said, “Up till now, tomorrow will be two months and he has not responded. He has disrespected the people of the constituency. He has failed to even acknowledge that he received the letter…We are giving him one week and no more. If he does not respond to us, do not blame the people for what happens after”.
“We have been doing everything in our power to ensure that we repair the feeder road in the area and Blackmoore has refused to meet with farmers,” area parliamentary representative John alleged.
