Portmore community leaders will today officially launch a citizens' petition to Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller, calling on her to lower the rates to use the Portmore toll road as well as to urgently upgrade entrances and exits to the highway. In recent weeks motorists using the Portmore toll road have encountered severe traffic jams.
The launch of the citizens' petition will take place this afternoon at the Lions Civic centre in Bridgeport. Human rights advocate Dr. Carolyn Gomes will deliver the keynote address.
