Such a small island and What a shame that public work can’t have this things clean all year round and have roads in better conditions and the Government never have money to clean or fix things in the Island everyone in the government in higher positions within the government, the only thing they do is just steal the money for the people of the island 
Great to see this work in progress .. great timing in time for the heavy rains
Drains should be clean/cleared on a regular, not only after it rains and roads get flooded.
Oh they finally doing some work ..great🙄
