Moruga roads are in a mess

THE EDITOR: Please give priority to the Moruga Taxi Drivers Association Association for we are appealing to your daily Newsday to help us find the solution for the suffering taxi drivers and commuters. Without your kind consideration we will be left alone to fight for justice. Thanking you for your kind consideration.

The WASA pipe laying project on the Moruga Road is inconsistent with any work done to other areas in Trinidad. We ask the simplest of questions. Could WASA’s so-called supervisors leave trenches and connection crossings like this in West Mooorings? The answer is no. Let them or the politician give us the answer. We are also appealing to the Minister of Works The Hon Franklin Khan, for his assistance in the matter by taking corrective measures against the supervisors. The material used to fill the trenches is Guaracara stone, this does not bind together, and has a high percentage of mud, when they wet for dust the entire road is mud. This affects our cars, we have to service them every week, “check the costs”.

The top of the trenches should have a binding fine material, it should be compacted or rolled so as to accommodate smooth and safe driving. “Blue mettle”. At present driving is a risk, stone can fly and break your windscreen. Some motorists do not slow down, truck drivers are the biggest offenders, we have to scamper on to the rough to allow these senseless drivers to pass because they have the right of way. The treatment meted out against the members of the above Association to put it mildly is disrespectful and incompetent by the politician or government. There are many things we can speak about but time does not permit.
