An untenable situation in Queenstown

Nov 16, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
I write to you with disgust about a situation which the residents of Lance Gibbs Street between Albert and Oronoque Streets are experiencing. My lot is 196 which is one lot away from Oronoque Street.
From September a construction which is being done by a popular businessman has been causing the drains to be blocked.  The sand for the construction is, I believe, the cause. Numerous complaints have been made to the relevant authorities to no avail. I am now unable to access my home which is in the back of the yard. I have to use the higher parapet of the next lot.
Soon that parapet would be blocked as well. I was told by a building inspector that “he passed by my lot and only half of the bridge was covered” What a nerve.
The question to be asked is, “Should the ordinary man be made to suffer because those in high places can do what they like and get away with it because of connections? When are the people who should be ensuring that the rule of law be adhered to and order is kept, begin to do what they are paid to do?
I am not the only resident suffering. Another resident who lives on a ground floor has a sewerage connection which was damaged. He has raw sewerage flowing into his house. Could the relevant authorities look into our distress? The raining season is fast approaching.
