LETTER OF THE DAY - NWC = Nation's Worst Company?
The Editor, Sir: I have been a resident of Perkins Estate, a community at the foot of Red Hills, St Andrew, for the past four years. I can safely say that 40 per cent of the time, the complex is without water. This is evident in the fact that we have 83 units in the complex ...
