Boscobel roads a disgrace
published: Wednesday | May 10, 2006

THE EDITOR, Sir:

I WENT to Jamaica with my family for holiday in December. I usually stay at my mother's house in Boscobel, St Mary, for two weeks. The holiday was fine, but the condition of the roads was so bad for a resort area that I think it is a disgrace.

I try my best to sell my country whenever I can, especially Ocho Rios and St Mary, but the state of the roads is defeating the purpose. The roads are especially bad when you go over the border of St Ann into St Mary, just as you pass over White River Bridge into St Mary. The potholes look like they were man-made. I had two rims and tyres twisted out of shape on the section of the main road in Stewart Town near to Tower Isle the night I arrived on our way from the airport at one o'clock in the morning.

I am, etc.,
