The City Engineer’s Department is expected to cover an exposed manhole along James Street, Albouystown today after coming in for a tongue-lashing from city councillor Heston Bostwick over its failure to address the situation in his constituency and across the city.
During yesterday’s statutory city council meeting at City Hall, Bostwick, the Councillor for Albouystown/ Charles-town, accused the City Engineer’s Department of taking a laidback approach to the situation, while noting that it has been discussed at past statutory meetings and empty promises were made.
“Three children have already fallen into the manhole on James Street. There are elderly people using the street also and having that manhole open is not good,” Bostwick said.
