Pothole patrols in 2021

THE EDITOR: I must make mention of Nerwsday's recent front page photo of two members of our Police Mounted Branch on their steeds manoeuvering between potholes on Henry street in the heart of the city. The caption which accompanied the photo correctly stated "Pothole patrol."

As serious a situation as this is, I had to laugh. In the first place, it is beyond me why in the year 2021, we still have mounted police patrols in the heart of the city – or anywhere for that matter – but that's another topic, for another day. The caption further went on to correctly describe the officers as "navigating treacherous terrain." Imagine that. In the heart of the city!

Evidently nobody in Government, far less (Works and Transport Minister) Rohan Sinanan drives on Henry Street, or is it that they do but just don't care? What next ? More pile up of traffic in downtown because of potholes? But oh, I forget our Capital city is going to be completely rebuilt.

Hats off to that, but when? In the meantime, just patch the bloody potholes please. Oh and don't forget Crystal Stream and Morne Coco in Diego Martin and the little piece of road along Victoria Square West. Thanks in advance.
