Drainage works now under way at Trents, St James, are aimed at reducing persistent flooding in the tenantry area and preparing the site earmarked for the relocation of the Holetown Civic Centre, the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW) said on Friday.

The ministry confirmed that Infra Construction Inc. is carrying out the project on its behalf.

The update comes amid continuing public interest in the government’s plans to relocate the Holetown Civic Centre from its current beachfront location to Trents as part of a wider west coast redevelopment project.
