The Caribbean Cement Company has moved to address the concerns of residents of Eleven Miles, Bull Bay, St. Thomas who mounted a protest this morning.
The residents took to the streets to demonstrate against a dust nuisance and damage to roads in their community caused by the operations of the company.
They say the problem has persisted for some time and this morning more than 20 residents protested along the Cambridge Hill main road, in the vicinity of a site where Carib Cement hauls aggregate.
Carib Cement says it has since contacted a haulage contractor who will undertake wetting of the roadway so as to reduce the dust nuisance.
Also, the company says it will be holding discussions with the National Works Agency to have the road fixed.
It says in the interim Carib Cement in association with the haulage contractors will assist with patching.
And the company has also agreed to formalize monthly meetings with residents of Eleven Miles to discuss issues and find solutions.
