Road sinks in Skinner Trace, Siparia

Over forty families in Siparia are stranded with no vehicular access out of their community following heavy rains which caused their road to sink.
One house at Skinner Trace was so badly damaged that the owner had to evacuate.
While waiting for help, some residents attempted to fix the collapsed roadway themselves.
Radhica De Silva and Ivan Toolsie visited Skinner Trace in Siparia this morning for this story.

That is total madness what is the Government doing to help these citizens these are people that live in this country and they need help.

Yet Rowley spent millions to celebrate 60 years of independence when that money 💰 could of been used for proper drainage systems around the whole country including Tobago so that things like this won't of happen. God help these people in this place 🙏
