Nowhere for the water to run off

Dear Editor,

I would like to use this space to address the situation in Beacon Hill with the rain water that collects on the road in front of Alegria and Sunset Beach Bar.

There is nowhere for the water to run off, as the powers that be at the airport filled in the ditch that ran along the inside of the fence that was used for runoff. This water becomes stagnant with the residue from the garbage shed at the road in front of the resort making it unhealthy and it smells.

Why wasn’t the airport responsible for making an alternate water runoff?

This water sits for weeks at a time if the rain is persistent and it creates such a bad traffic situation and potholes that could seriously damage cars and people.

It would be nice if the Government, Public Works or maybe VROMI looked into this mess. I’m sure my neighbours and visitors of the island would appreciate it too.
