Nearly 30 residents spent close to two hours pressing Member of Parliament (MP) for St Andrew North Western, Duane Smith, on Sunday over deteriorating roads, stalled infrastructure projects, roadside businesses, and the use of constituency funds during the Havendale Meadowbrook Citizens Association’s (HMCA) monthly meeting.

The meeting, held at the Havendale and Meadowbrook Community Centre at the corner of Border Avenue and Flemington Drive, was chaired by Association President and National Neighbourhood Watch President Opal Davis.

Throughout the session, residents repeatedly challenged Smith over what they described as years of deteriorating roads, poor coordination between government agencies, and an apparent lack of long-term planning.
