Residents of the upper corner section of Fond Cole are up in arms about the non-completion of a project that they claim is causing serious discomfort.
The project which is being funded by the government of Dominica through the parliamentary representative Julius Timothy started several weeks ago.
Apparently whenever it rains, mudslides and overflowing ravines would affect residents there and money was allocated to build protecting walls and concrete gutters.
But for reasons not stated, the project has stopped and building materials (sand and stones) were placed alongside the narrow pathway.
“I can hardly pass for me to go to work and as a matter of fact, whenever it rains, I cannot send my children to school,” one village stated, claiming that the “whole thing is just an inconvenience”.
That villager said at nights the matter becomes even more or a problem.
“If you don’t know the area at nights you can lose your life. You can stumble upon all the gravels that are there and fall over into a neighbor’s yard. Something needs to be done. The parl rep needs to do something. We cannot live like this. It’s unfair,” the villager continued.
All attempts to contact MP for the area Julius Timothy proved futile but DNO will continue to seek clarification from him in that regard.

idiots alone that living fond cole! That hill is so unstable! Any earthquake or major landslide and we will meet all those fools on the deep water harbor below.
Is not earthquake or landslide that will cause that place to surf. The sewage alone will provide enough lubricant to take care of that.
Anyways alot of my people are just too damn political. Why everything always have to do with politics?? For the love of God, ease up a bit man. It’s really sickening that anything which happens anywhere boils down to politics. Elections is held every 4 to 5 years, can’t we get off the ignorance and see things for what they really are. If the damn MP don’t want to take responsibility are you all just gonna continue risking your lives? There’s a saying i believe in: if you want something done, do it on your own!! Just make the necessary inquiries and get the thing done; then you all have something to hold against the ones responsible for it.
why don’t the people of the fond cole community form a delegation,go to minister’s office and demand a hearing on the issue.
Because they are too divided and onesided
this project was not funded by the government, it was funded by [oecs]and they took it to play politic.
All that is good
Just listen to u. U find u making sense
I thought that’s what they voted for,something happening,but nothing!Take what u get!Too easy to be fooled!
All you people just love it when things not going well. What a shame! always thriving on the negatives. Ah magwaysah
I guess they need a loan to finish it, what about asking China or papa Chavez. That government have money to do nothing if they don’t beg, how the hell does that government make money? but yet still they are all becoming billionaires.
he do right do them that!!!!! he came bringing gifts during the election camapaign and they fell for it so now it the next level
woy oy yoye something’s happening …
and the million dollar question has got to be where has the money gone????
JULIE, GET TO WORK IMMEDIATELY. Thank you.
He doh have to get to work if he doh want too. But in three years he will know.
residents should come togehter and finish it….don’t wait on govt…or wait in vain….
the person to build the drain has gotten the money without work being done and those who work and finish can’t get pay from since September. Why he is the big boy riding with the MP ,so no one can’t touch him .That is just to show you which ones that eating NOT all . Boy-cut others and given the job knowing he has many more and now look what happen .How many mouths and work can’t start but you get pay .LIFE SWEET IS’T IT.
MP’s response:”apres moi le deluge”!
so where de money??? who they give de money? u not seeing that nuh, how dem people passing there? bonjay if it so during the day muchless for the night papa, thats a road nuh? what i want to know is where de money? i hear a top dog in de community use de money, pampalaylay pam pam!
What i seeing there nuh? Look tracks…thats mad tracks wi…how them people passing there with children? After Jean Fond Cole vote for Timothy is that he doing them? Ah magway ca
They that vote him not me so…whatever
this year is not election year so the residence should not expect a speedy resolution to this matter. For very long the people from this community are treated as second class citizens but the Government needs to treat the residence with some respect.
1.The fondcole foot ball field was taken away from them by Domlec then the guys sort comfort in seeking alternative plce next to carlton phillip. This was taken away from them too. The we see Domlec use the entrace to this community as a dump.Instead of some welcoming office building DOmlec saw it fit to dump there power poles ther. Fond Cole people know how to stand up. They did in the 70’s and very soon we shall see…….
THE NEXT LEVEL
mr timothy needs to get this situation handled asap…
