Dear Editor,
I write this with the hope that both my member of Parliament and my councillor, Julian Robinson and Ms Kari Douglas, respectively, will have the opportunity to read this letter.
Ever since the period of our last general election, the street lamps in the Caledonia Avenue/Tom Redcam Drive area and sections of Camp Road have been out, with the exception of the immediate areas of the Nuttall Memorial Hospital gates, the Little Theatre and Kingston and St Andrew Parish Library.
Most of the other areas are dark at nights. Only the traffic lights at the intersection offer some amount of light.
This area, though mostly a commercial one, boasts an apartment complex. In addition to the residents of the complex using this area frequently at nights, students also traverse the area, in addition to mothers and their babies walking to Cross Roads from the Bustamante Children's Hospital at various hours of the night. Mico University College students also use sections of this area to get to their hostel from late classes.
It would be good for both our representatives to leave the comfort of their homes on any given night to walk or drive through some of the areas mentioned to see what the users of the roads have to put up with. To add insult to injury, a number of street people live on these streets; some deranged. Gentlemen, under this cover of darkness, what if?...
Is it a Jamaica Public Service way of cost-cutting? Please do something to help us. Representation by our elected representatives is lacking in many areas.
