Property owners are being reminded that their buildings, fences, guard walls, and hedges should not encroach or obstruct the road reserve, verge or any highway in Barbados. In addition, persons are reminded not to build or place anything in gutters, drains, or natural water channels that interfere with the free passage of stormwater.
Section 12 of the Highways Act, CAP 289 authorizes the Chief Technical Officer of the Ministry of Transport and Works to remove anything that encroaches or obstructs the highway or gutters.
Persons who do not comply may incur a fine and the cost of removing the unauthorized object. (PR/MTW)
