Dear Sir
Re: Severe Drainage and Flooding Problems at Trents, Trents Tenantry and Church Point Saint James during Rainy Weather Conditions
I refer to our earlier correspondence relative to the above captioned matter, ending with your letter dated 27th April, 2012.
During the course thereof, you indicated that your Ministry was “in the process of finalizing grant funding to implement the recommendations of the 1996 Drainage Study which remain viable, as well as to devise and implement new strategies, taking into account climate change. This programme is scheduled to commence within the current financial year.”
I, therefore, now write kindly requesting you to inform me as to the status of this “grant funding” as well as the implementation of these “new strategies,” since we are now well into the financial year following your letter.
You are no doubt aware that the very severe flooding and drainage issues continue to be an extremely serious problem in these districts.
I look forward to receiving your written response in the very near future.
