MEMBER of Parliament for Kingston Eastern and Port Royal Phillip Paulwell has developed a plan to relocate residents of the frequently flooded Burger Gully area of his constituency. But even as that initiative is fleshed out, plans are in place to repair the gully to provide relief for the people if there are heavy flood rains.
Paulwell told the Jamaica Observer on Monday that the Government has already allocated $30 million to repair the gully so as to lessen possible flooding during the current Atlantic hurricane season.
He said the repair to the gully is expected to be completed by next month.
