Montego Bay Mayor Homer Davis has made a bold move to put an end to the many instances of dislodged cable wires hanging from Jamaica Public Service Company (JPSCo) poles across St James, which have been exposing members of the public to danger and distracting from the aesthetics of the surroundings.
According to the mayor, who is also the chairman of the St James Municipal Corporation, the time has come for cable wires belonging to major service providers such as FLOW, Digicel, Cornwall Communications, among others, to be properly secured on the JPSCo poles, ending their threat to public safety.
On Friday, June 19, Mayor Davis led a delegation comprising representatives of the JPSCo and other service providers on a tour of Jimmy Cliff Boulevard, where a number of breaches were observed.
“For a very long time, the issue of cable dangling from JPSCo poles has been a concern to the St James Municipal Corporation.
The discussion during the tour was frank and direct, and company representatives willingly admitted the faults relating to their cables and the way is now clear for a new approach to the running and maintenance of these cables.”
