An­gry res­i­dents of Todds Road in Cen­tral Trinidad blocked the Ca­paro Val­ley Bras­so Road in the vicin­i­ty of Are­na Road on Mon­day around 4 am and set tyres and oth­er de­bris on fire.

Res­i­dents said they are fed up with poor rep­re­sen­ta­tion and de­mand­ed that their MP Fos­ter Cum­mings ( La Hor­quet­ta/ Tal­paro) make the nec­es­sary moves to get a steady sup­ply of wa­ter in­to the com­mu­ni­ty and un­der­take re­pairs to their di­lap­i­dat­ed road.

The Chair­man of the Cou­va/Tabaquite/Tal­paro Re­gion­al Cor­po­ra­tion, Ryan Ram­per­sad, said the CT­TRC is sup­ply­ing truck-borne wa­ter to ar­eas with­out a pipe-borne ser­vice in parts of Tamana, Mun­do Nue­vo and Las Lo­mas. How­ev­er, Ram­per­sad said the fund­ing for this ac­tiv­i­ty is lim­it­ed to ar­eas with­out a pipeline.
