Redberry residents mount roadblocks over bad roads
REDBERRY, Jamaica- Commuters, including scores of schoolchildren, were left stranded on Monday morning due to a road block mounted by residents of Redberry, Manchester protesting bad road conditions.
Debris including old fridges, stoves, rocks and trees were used to block the main road leading from the Porus Police Station towards Redberry.
Some students and individuals heading to work were forced to walk for miles to access public transportation.
Last September, the residents had blocked the roadway appealing to the authorities to have repairs done.
More details to come.
