• EARLIER THIS WEEK, HOLDER TOLD US THAT SHE MADE NUMEROUS PLEAS TO THE L.S.A FOR SEVERAL YEARS TO HAVE THE SITUATION RECTIFIED BUT SUCH HAS FALLEN ON DEAF EARS.
• SHE SAID, WHETHER IT RAINS OR NOT, WATER WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO RUN OFF INTO A MANGROVE, BACKS UP AND FLOODS UNDER HER HOME. HOLDER IS FEARFUL THAT THE INTEGRITY OF HER HOME MAY BE COMPROMISED ESPECIALLY SINCE THE SITUATION GETS WORST WHEN IT RAINS.
