NATANIE SMITH-WHITTAKER/ MYREPORT: Everyone speaks about South St Elizabeth, but what about North West St Elizabeth? This road has been like this for more than 25 years and is getting worse. Shame on you, J.C. Hutchinson!

DEBORAH YAPP/MY REPORT: I have lived at this location for 20 years. On several occasions I have contacted the Kingston and St Andrew Corporation (KSAC) regarding the condition of the roadway.
