Six months after the arrival of the new Village Council of Grand Port, the grumbling is heard from residents of Rose-Belle. They say they are overwhelmed by gaps in road infrastructure represent a hazard to road users.

The main annoyance is the construction of a new bus shelter. So far, the main bus stop was in the center of Rose-Belle. But the authorities have decided to transfer to Baramia where a platform was built on a bridge for this purpose. But for months, it is still waiting to be covered.

For local residents, this infrastructure not completed is a potential danger, especially for children who pass by every day to go to school. "Rose-Belle is a large village. There are about 200 to 300 people waiting for the bus here daily. Children who want to go are forced to take the platform and may fall into the river, "says a villager.

Megduth Seegobin says once again be aware of the problem and calls the police to act. The people, themselves, are in favor of a double yellow line along the road to prevent parking.
