Mandela Highway lights back on

The National Works Agency (NWA) is advising that the streetlights along Mandela Highway are, now, back in operation.

The lights became inoperable after circuit breakers were removed by thieves.

Manager of Communication and Customer Services at the NWA Stephen Shaw, says that the circuit breakers were discovered to be missing during checks made over the weekend.

He said that he has been advised by the Jamaica Public Service Company Limited that the necessary repairs have been made and the streetlights are now functional.

Shaw said that unscrupulous characters have been preying on the lighting infrastructure along the Mandela Highway since they have been installed.

He is appealing to the perpetrators of this activity to stop this practice.
