Gorge woes

Published:Monday | July 4, 2011 | 12:00 AM
Vendors at Bog Walk in St Catherine say the closure of the gorge is a show of disrespect. "No one come and meet with us. We all went and buy our load (fruits) only to hear on the news that the road will be closed," said Yvonne Elleston, a fruit vendor. Elleston said she has been deeply affected by the closure and has nowhere to sell her fruits - her only source of income. The National Works Agency has announced that the gorge will be closed for a month starting today. - Norman Grindley/Chief Photographer
