Mem­ber of Par­lia­ment for Ma­yaro, Nicholas Mor­ris, has as­sured farm­ers, res­i­dents, and dai­ly com­muters along Begesse Trace and River­side Road that the Gov­ern­ment re­mains com­mit­ted to ful­ly re­ha­bil­i­tat­ing the Poole Vil­lage land­slip.

“When con­di­tions wors­ened ear­li­er this week, I joined Chair­man of the Re­gion­al Cor­po­ra­tion Ray­mond Co­zi­er and Coun­cil­lor David Law in a col­lab­o­ra­tive ef­fort. To­geth­er, we en­gaged the Min­is­ter of Rur­al De­vel­op­ment and Lo­cal Gov­ern­ment, the Ho­n­ourable Khadi­jah Ameen, MP,” Mor­ris said.

He said from the on­set, all teams have worked in uni­son to ad­dress the is­sue. The min­is­ter and her min­istry have co­or­di­nat­ed close­ly with the Cor­po­ra­tion and MP Mor­ris to or­gan­ise nec­es­sary works.

“The Min­is­ter has giv­en her as­sur­ance of a speedy rec­ti­fi­ca­tion of the prob­lem. En­gi­neers are de­vel­op­ing the cost­ing, scope of works, and oth­er crit­i­cal el­e­ments to en­sure this project is de­liv­ered,” he said.

Mor­ris added that the min­istry, the Re­gion­al Cor­po­ra­tion team, and his of­fice un­der­stand the vi­tal role this road­way plays for the com­mu­ni­ty—and the se­ri­ous con­se­quences if it re­mains com­pro­mised.

“For these rea­sons, we are in­ten­si­fy­ing all ef­forts to re­store ac­cess, safe­ty, and mo­bil­i­ty.”
