Poor planning and substandard infrastructural works are being blamed for the flooding that occurs at the Maracas Beach carpark every time there are torrential showers along the North Coast.
Residents from villages scattered along the northern peninsula, such as Las Cuevas, La Fillette, Rincon, and Blanchisseuse, complained of the delays they had to endure every time the main access road to Maracas Beach is flooded.
Several hours of intense rainfall yesterday, coupled with the high tide, led to the river overflowing and flooding the public carpark and roadway with over three feet of water in some places.
