Located in a valley, the town council has a lot of water pouring in with flooded roads being the order of the day.

Culvert were recently delivered by the ministry of Works to have the problem addressed but to their dismay, these were simply put to waste.

Residents accused the technical team of the town council and the town council engineer Mr. Bayita Richard of working in isolation with intentions to waste public resources.

Some residents said the technical team had ignored advice and ended up messing.

While the district engineer, Bayita, agreed some of the work was going to be a waste of resources, he did not advise on how best it needed to be done.

He accused the political leadership of destabilising works by giving him directives which leads to mistakes.
