out in the St. George's area.

Mr. Jimmy Williams said last week that boulders were falling around the railway line leading into Wellington Back Road.

"If there is an accident on the Back Road because the railway is closed off, there is no way that the residents of that area can get in or out,'' said Mr.

Williams.

In addition, Mr. Williams said Barrack Hill was dangerous and asked: "Is it going to take that hill to fall down and take lives for this Government to be sensitive to the problems of this country.'' He added: "Are we going to wait until someone loses their life in these areas? Are we going to wait until there is a fire in Wellington Back Road and people cannot get out? The railway needs to be cleaned and cleared.'' Mr. Williams also asked the Government to ensure rapidly disappearing old parish boundaries signs were protected.

"It would be a great pity to see these markers lost. They are important historical artefacts,'' he said.
