City Engineer, Kenson Boston, was yesterday given a deadline of up to 16:00hrs today by Mayor of Georgetown, Ubraj Narine, and Councillors to cover a manhole at James Street, Albouystown, Georgetown after he fumbled to provide a valid excuse or explanation why it hasn’t been done. This happened at yesterday’s statutory meeting.
The manhole in question has been a topic of discussion at quite a few statutory meetings but all Boston could have come up with yesterday were “flimsy excuses”. The Mayor as well as the councillors expressed their frustration at the Engineering Department and its lack of efficiency.
Councillor Heston Bostwick inquired what was going to be done since the open structure was a public safety and health hazard and should have been rectified ages ago.
He said that “The manhole situated at James and La Penitence Streets Albouystown… I reported to this honourable house three children fell into that manhole and it attracted media attention [but] unto this day [it] hasn’t attracted the attention of the City Engineer and hasn’t been covered.”
Perhaps the most "qualified and esteemed" City Engineer is of the firm belief that they are manholes; hence man/men should be in the holes.
