    Tha police should open the road to the law abiding people of the village who wish to travel that road, I understand the need to repair the roads , but every village in dominica has the same problem, should all of them cunduct a road block so that the politicians can hear the cry of the people?.

    I dont know what is wrong with the people of that village anytime they disagree with someone or something they are quick to creat a road block, maybe the people of pointe michel need do the same, so who feels it knows it, i remember back in the days before the road to both village in that area they use to travel by boat[little caneo] to pte michel and then take a bus, so when ever they block the road again put those sympertizers on the boat.

    Lapointe has been waiting for road repairs, and a sea wall for years, do they creat a raod block? NO so why that village to the south has to do that. I say shame on them.

      Because they have learned from the Salisbury and Colihaut people that this is the only way to get the government’s attention. It works.

      Modern days are responsible for this and signs of the times. Everyone is protesting for this and that. Gone are the days when the roads were worst and no one protested against it.
      I am not criticizing them but they need to apply patience. The road will be repaired in time.
