Portmore Mayor Leon Thomas is calling on Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness to urgently honour his promise to expand Municipal Boulevard as residents and commuters endure worsening traffic congestion. Speaking at last Thursday’s ground-breaking ceremony for the four-lane expansion from Naggo Head to the Hellshire main road, Thomas reminded the prime minister of his written commitment to both the Portmore Municipal Corporation and the St Catherine Municipal Corporation.
