Several residents and taxi operators are staging a protest over poor road conditions in the Back Pasture and Point Hill communities of the West Central St. Catherine constituency.

Dr. Christopher Tufton is the Member of Parliament.

Residents say they are fed up with the state of the roads.

One taxi operator laments that the roads are in need of urgent repair, as they are damaging their vehicles.

Another taxi operator says the protest has inconvenienced several residents, but they had no choice, but to withdraw their services.
