Fed-up residents of Morris Meadows took matters into their own hands on Tuesday morning, launching a community-led effort to patch sections of the badly damaged Grange Lane roadway linking George Lee Boulevard and Lakes Pen.

Residents say years of neglect and worsening road conditions pushed them to act, as motorists travelling between Spanish Town and Portmore continue to battle potholes, damaged tyres and dangerous driving conditions along the busy stretch.

The road is also heavily used by residents of Morris Meadows, Happy Content and Grange Lane.
