ST JAMES, Jamaica — Works Minister Robert Morgan is insisting that the drainage study that is part of the Montego Bay Perimeter Road Project should address many of the flooding issues in St James, including that of Catherine Hall.

The minister urged patience from residents, highlighting that they will soon see some relief.
