This has to happen so CHEC can see what they have to work on. ..they're working on the road project and port morant is apart of it..this is not an easy project, it need planning, I'm sure I heard the mp say they're acquiring land so they can cut drains..
This place should fix a very long time ago and it had nothing to do with which mp , the government needs to take it up in hand, everybody in parliament need to see it, it need to talk in parliament,
I remembered when i was a boy living at Cotton tree Port Morant and the flooding. I get a front set view of everything that is helping. That is in the 70s..
Well if thats in the 70s and in the 90s when i was attending Port Morant school its the same thing. That means its only getting worse. But according to someone that use to live in Port morant and also use to attend Port morant school he said the drains are apart of the flooding aslo. If its keeping clean it won't be like that. On the other hand the community can help they don't have to wait on politicians.

They need to do some work in that area i was living in prospect and attended st thomas technical high school that area usually flood when it rains the drains need cleaning and the trench needs to dig out more .who have the gas station dont care about where his business is he's just making the money and not spending in the community..I really need to pass through its 16 years I dont drive that side
After all these years since receiving the SCHIP contract, China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) are still unable to provide a workable engineering solution for the area (short and long term).

That new bridge design was poor n the people of Port Morant sat down n watch a swimming pool make for them. They will have to make a drain on both side a the road leading into the river to move the water when it rain.

They need to channel the water into the sea or the river because some place is higher then some part that why the water be coming back on he the road no exciting about the water is not the government fall rain the hand of od is writing on the wall he said he is not coming back with water but brimstone and fire too much dirtynees is going in the world today we nu see nothing yet it going to be weeping and wailing in Jamaica special because too much innocent blood special children

@@klarityflexjamaica ok ..glad to know it’s a part of the overall package that Chec will be working on; we now need to know how soon they will get to this area. Plus we need to ensure it is fixed properly once they are working on it
The old drainage system that is in that area, is not good enough and is totally blocked, that is the reason for the constant flooding of that little town . They need to find a water course that can help take the water away from the centre of the town, and that would be to build drains in the Middle of the town areas and the actual road, with plenty of Grid drain covers like the one you have shown, and find the right area that the water can flow to with enough drain pipes that will take the load of water that is poured into that area . . The main issue is to CLEAN and renew the drains and find the BEST outlet to take the water out of that area during heavy rains, which is possible to do, otherwise spend some money and put a permanent pumping station in the town and pump the water out .
This problem is ongoing and will continue to because of the political blame game. People need to wise up. Your MPs from either side keep blaming the other, and you are swallowing the "blame" pill you are being given. Until you can all stop seeing yourselves as JLP and PNP and start seeing yourselves collectively as citizens, politicians will continue using you as pawns in their political game. The day you all come out collectively as concerned citizens and make your voices be heard is the day when meaningful actions will be taken to correct the problem.
