Environmental activist and UWI lecturer Dr Wayne Kublalsingh says TT should pay heed to the Armstrong Report on the Dibe to Mon Desir portion of the Solomon Hochoy Highway extension project. The project is commonly referred to as the Point Fortin Highway project.

Kublalsingh, in a conversation with Newsday on August 2, advised that the government read and adopt the advice given in the report published in 2013, as it would give key advice on the environmental and social impact continuing with that segment of the highway.

He was referring to the report by an independent 21-member Highway Review Committee (HRC), led by Dr James Armstrong. The committee was set up by the Joint Consultative Council (JCC) in 2012 to independently review the contentious Debe to Mon Desir portion of the highway extension.
