An Open Letter to The Ministry of Works, BPL and Light and BTC:·

Gentlemen:

SINCE October 6th, there has been a dangerous situation which exists on San Souci Road, just off Eastern Road.

As a consequence of the Hurricane Matthew, as soon as one turns onto San Souci Road from Eastern Road, one is confronted by an upended tree that is leaning two-thirds of the way over the road, directly before the first S turning in the road. Not only is the tree in and of itself dangerous, but there are also wires hanging down over the road belonging to either BPL or BTC, I have no idea which.

This is an extremely heavily trafficked road being one of the few through roads that allow access to Prince Charles and at this S turn, traffic is reduced to one lane only as the tree is hanging dangerously low over the road, plus the wires that are caught up with it.

Should this tree fall on a car, possibly filled with students from St Andrews School, who will be at fault?

I urge all of you to take some time to rectify this situation before an accident occurs.

We the public do appreciate your efforts after Matthew and I am simply trying to point out a situation which may have been overlooked.

I trust this will be handled with all due speed and consideration.

COLLEEN
