RESIDENTS and taxi-drivers of Fishing Pond, Sangre Grande staged a fiery protest to highlight deplorable road conditions in the area last week. The protestors complained that several letters were written to the Ministry of Works and Transport and to the Member of Parliament for the area, Roger Boynes but with no response. As a result of the protest, traffic came to a virtual standstill leaving schoolchildren and residents stranded for a very long time. Fire officers were called to put out the fire and some protesters were sprayed in the process.
