Mayor Calls Apollo Street an IDB Disaster
posted (January 30, 2020)

But, not tar truck can help on Apollo Street which lies between Belama Phases three and Four.  That is a crater-filled disaster.  And the real shame is that the IDB funded Flood Mitigation Infrastructure Project had recently paved it!  But, it's in a shambles now - and the Mayor and his works Councillor laid the blame at the feet of the IDB and the Ministry of Works:

Albert Vaughan - City Council Works Portfolio
"It's a failed IDB, and somehow it missed the fourth estate, they have never reported that street. From the Get go, Carla Barnett and the whole crew are back there rushing this thing for elections. They had a meeting with the residents who told them that project would not have held up. It's a failed IDB project. And I know my friend Jules will have it on tonight, right? [all laughs] You understand? That is important because it is costing this Council. We can't maintain that. We can't clean this up."
