Dozens of irate residents from the East Coast village of Plaisance yesterday blocked the erecting of a tower for the government’s e-governance project noting that it was to be placed on their community centre ground.
The residents swarmed the Plaisance Community Centre Ground and stopped what engineer for the Ministry of Public Works, Walter Willis says is the first of over 50 signal towers to be erected for the e-governance project. A meeting will now be held tomorrow to try to settle the dispute. It is unclear how the ground was chosen for the tower and residents were incensed that there had been no consultation with them.
