The city streets are in a state after the long December rains - but fear not the Ministry of Works is coming to bail out the city council once again.
Councilor Dean Samuels today told us that a program of work has been outlined:..
Dean Samuels - City Councilor
"What I have done with my works manager, since Tuesday and today, was passing on these streets, looking at them, and what we did was basically what we call an estimate, how much loads it will take to repair these streets and get it done properly, with proper drainage and culverts if needed. So we will not be fixing streets where another rain comes along, and it will be destroyed. Again, a lot of these streets are earthen streets, so they will be rehabilitated. What happens next is that these estimate specs will be given to the Ministry of Works, where they personally will then provide the Belize City Council with material through the Ministry of Works to get the job done. What the Ministry of Works is doing, they're going to give us finances to utilize machinery to get it done properly."
We'll have more on the scope of works tomorrow...
