Member Parliament for Western St Andrew Anthony Hylton has reissued a call for the Government to undertake the speedy and routine clean-up of the Sandy Gully.

In a statement from the People’s National Party (PNP), Hylton indicated that he was gravely concerned about the recent discoveries of human remains that had been dumped in the gully.

According to the PNP, the “appalling state of the gully” has been the subject of several calls by the Hylton for it to cleaned, dating back at least the last five years.

ACT SPEEDILY

“The finding of bodies in the gully over the last few weeks has heightened the concerns of the citizens of Seaview Gardens, Riverton Meadows, and surrounding communities that the garbage filled gully, which drains the upper reaches of St Andrew, is becoming a favourite place for more than refuse to be dumped,” said Hylton.

Hylton said he was once again calling for the Government to act speedily to clean up what has now become a clear and present danger to the communities, the livelihood of fisherfolk in the Hunts Bay, the Port of Kingston, and the environment.
