The repairs are intended to enhance the experience of using the promenade and ensure the safety of all users,” said the City’s Deputy Mayor and Mayoral Committee Member for Spatial Planning and Environment, Alderman Eddie Andrews.
In conclusion, Andrews assures that the City will do their best to accommodate pedestrians and other promenade users during this time and try complete the work as soon as possible.
