Dear Editor,
As an activist of the United Workers Party (UWP) and a concerned resident of Region 10, I feel compelled to raise an issue that affects every man, woman, and child in our community, the inability to reliably reach the St. John’s Ambulance Brigade at the Linden Hospital Complex in times of emergency.
For too long, the Brigade’s landline has been out of service. They have been forced to depend solely on a cellular phone as their only means of communication. While we deeply appreciate the dedication of the team that continues to serve under these challenging conditions, this situation is both unsafe and unacceptable.
Emergencies do not wait. When someone is gasping for breath, when a child is injured, or when an accident occurs late at night, a working phone line could mean the difference between life and death. It breaks my heart to know that a resident in distress might struggle to reach help simply because a landline, something so basic and essential, has been left unfixed for months.
I am pleading with the relevant authorities, particularly those responsible for public health and emergency services, to treat this matter with the urgency it deserves. Please, do not wait until tragedy strikes to act. The people of Linden deserve a reliable and functioning emergency communication system. This is not a political issue; it is a human one. Every life in this community matters. Let us fix this before it costs someone their tomorrow.
Respectfully,
Lorenzo Joseph
