Tired of the neglect

THE EDITOR, Sir:
NOT ONLY does Cable & Wireless think no one lives in Cornwall Mountain (no phone lines after years of multiple applications by multiple persons), but the agency/agencies responsible for road works here think so too. For years, the road has been fixed part way, left to deteriorate, fixed part way, left to deteriorate, fixed part way...
Most recently the entire road even 'the good part' was dug up, marled, partially gravelled, then left to get worse than it was before. The potholes that were filled will soon be deeper than before, because the road wasn't completed. It needs to be fixed and not just partially but it needs the final surface to be completed.
If I am going to Montego Bay or Savanna-la-Mar, the three-mile journey to the main road takes almost as long as the journey from Mackfield which can be a minimum of 20 minutes to Sav or up to over an hour (with traffic into Mo Bay).
Vehicles, animals and people got damaged and injured again and again. Someone obviously thinks no one lives here.
