Residents of White Hill, St. Andrew have been assured again that the construction of a new road into their community remains a priority of the Government.
The work is to be undertaken under the Chinese-funded Complant/Scotland District Road Rehabilitation Project, and Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley told the House of Assembly today that the White Hill road and the reconstruction of an extended Ermie Bourne Highway are at the top of the list.
She noted that while a major gabion construction project had already started in anticipation of major undertaking, the Chinese have indicated they will be bringing a new land stabilisation technique to the island, which is likely to work to the benefit of residents of White Hill.
The Scotland District covers one-seventh of the island and the road rehabilitation project will last three years.
