A Hopewell, Chalky Mount, St Andrew mother is living in fear that her home could slip into a nearby gully as a result of work done by the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW).But the MTW’s deputy chief engineer Philip Tudor has assured that the ministry has been trying to find a solution.Small business owner Camille Bryant, who occupies an upstairs and downstairs wall and timber house with eight other occupants, told Barbados TODAY on Thursday that from what she could see, a substantial amount of water was settling under a stack of gabion baskets the MTW had erected directly in front of her house.She said while the work, which has been starting and stopping since October 2021, was done to help stabilise the eroding land, it was creating problems for her.“I believe that over time if nothing is done, the house will be pushed into the gully,” the concerned resident said.
