SEVERAL PLACARD-BEARING residents from the White Water Meadows Housing Development in Old Harbour, St Catherine, gathered at the CanCara Development Agency on Cargill Avenue in Kingston on February 22.
The residents journeyed to Kingston to protest what they describe as unsuitable living conditions in their community. Winston Chin, president of the White Water Meadows Housing Development Association, said that necessary amenities such as proper sewerage facilities have not been constructed since the com-munity was developed by CanCara in 2001.
"The main issue is our main entrance road which has not been paved and is now full of potholes, and the second issue is the inadequate sewerage system where we have raw sewage flowing into our main drain," Chin said.
The residents also complained that their community is incomplete as a community centre and a shopping centre, which were promised to them, are yet to be constructed.
"We do not have proper water facilities, the water pressure is so low that we find it difficult to take a bath or even do laundry," one resident said.
