Works Minister Robert Morgan has assured residents that the drainage study under the Montego Bay Perimeter Road Project will help resolve many of Montego Bay’s flooding issues, including those in Catherine Hall.
He made the comment during a visit to the area yesterday, following heavy rainfall which affected the community.
Residents in Catherine Hall and surrounding communities have been complaining about the flooding of their homes when it rains.
The drainage study is expected to be completed by December.
Mr. Morgan noted that his Ministry has been working closely with the local councillor to assist with the cleaning of drains as often as possible.
The Works Minister said the study will address the North and South Gullies, the Montego River and several water features in the city.
