A very overgrown trench behind Prins Willem Alexander Primary School in St. Peters has residents worried should a storm threaten the island.
Bush has taken over the trench by overhanging it as well as taking root in the canal itself. The little water in the trench is stagnated and the passage choked with garbage, improperly disposed of by people in the area or washed down over the time from the surrounding hills.
Residents call on the Public Works Department to clear this trench and others in the neighbourhood. “It’s like a jungle out there,” said one resident. (John Halley photos)
