Some well-known businessmen who have been operating in Speightstown, St Peter for decades are demanding that Government halts its plans to make a number of roads in the northern city one-way.On Monday during a press briefing at the Speightstown Esplanade, Austin Husbands, Clement Armstrong and Ian Griffith said they were upset about how the changes were being implemented without consultation.They said the process was not handled in a democratic manner and expressed their dissatisfaction with the Parliamentary Representative for St Peter, Colin Jordan, for not including them in the decision-making process.“They have to rethink this one, those two no entry signs that are put there on the exit of KNR Husbands Roundabout onto Chapel Street, they must be reconsidered. As a matter of fact they must be removed. It is nonsense,” said Husbands, who considers himself as a “Speightstownian” having lived near the area for more than 70 years.Husbands said the new traffic changes were difficult for some motorists to understand and instead of remedying congestion it would make it worse.
