Health Minister Vincent Wheatley has apologized to residents of the First District for the persistent smoke from the Pockwood Pond landfill. Wheatley acknowledged the suffering of residents and announced plans to test a new method to tackle the problem.
The minister receives daily complaints about the conditions at the landfill and has been searching for a solution. A new approach, learned from a waste management conference in Grenada, will be tested, but its effectiveness is uncertain.
