Works ministry to launch operation to remove encumbrances from roads on Monday

Public Works Minister Juan Edghill yesterday announced that an operation will start on Monday to remove encumbrances from the country’s roadways and reserves.

The announcement comes weeks after the Ministry of Public Works issued a warning to property owners about derelicts along the roadways.

Speaking at the sod turning and contract signing for the Ogle to Eccles bypass road on Friday, Edghill said that the ministry will not be tolerating persons who think it is appropriate to vend or leave unused materials and objects on the road shoulders.
