RCIPS says flooded roads remain closed
(CNS) Updated 5:52pm: The roads on Grand Cayman that were closed due to the severe weather conditions will remain closed overnight, police say. These are North West Point Road (vicinity of Cracked Conch), Junction of North West Point Road/Town Hall Road, Eastern Ave/North Church Street, Bodden Road, Mary Street, and Broiler Road. On the maps above provided by the RCIPS, the red dots are the locations of the closed roads.
Road work will commence tomorrow, Wednesday, 7 February, once the weather conditions have subsided and it becomes safe to do so. The public should avoid these coastal areas as much as possible as they are still unsafe, police said. An update will be provided once these areas have been made safe.
The RCIPS also said that barricades put in place for the safety of the general public during the storm have been removed by members of the public, though it’s unclear if this is due to stupidity or malice. The RCIPS warned people not to remove them. Anyone removing or pulling aside police barricades will be arrested if they are found to be obstructing police in the execution of their duties, the RCIPS said.

Where were the regiment we’ve invested so heavily in?
Where were the coast guard? Patrolling the coast?
Where the hell was Ja Rule?! Somebody get Ja on the phone, let’s see what his thoughts are.
too busy polishing their rubber knives…
Dad’s Army
Where’s Broiler Road? What chance do people have if CIG don’t even know our local street names. I’m assuming it’s meant to be Boilers Road. Or was this announcement from the clowns at Hazard Management, who issued a tsunami warning after the thing would have hit us post earthquake??
It was a misprint, silly.
When they arrest them, what crime will they be charged with?
Stupidity?
Read the article. ” obstructing police in the execution of their duties”
Except they wouldn’t actually be doing that.
Why exactly are schools on Walkers Road closed?? Another failure of our education system; too eager to let kids off even if the sky clouds over!!
Unbelievable!!
This islands infrastructure can’t handle a main road being closed at peak traffic hours (as we saw when Wayne was premier and had to issue an apology for closing town on a Friday evening). Everyone would have been stuck in traffic for 2 hours this morning getting to their destinations if all of the schools were open.
A pain – yes. The right decision – probably
There was absolutely NO good reason for CIS to be closed today.
you know how much traffic is created by private schools???
They do and do not care.
With the waterfront roads closed, the traffic this morning would have been horrendous. Same for school pick up.
Closed today and schools in. Pack a lunch, strap in and enjoy the punishment.
Franz closed the Civil Service for the day 14 hours before they could be bothered to announce the closure of the schools.
Not actually true (CS never formally closed) but you do you
Civil Service might as well be permanently closed bruh.
Public circumstances and happenings remain unclear because the police are rarely deployed in the communities they are paid to serve, with their eyes open. The cruise control “set-it and forget-it” method of public policing isn’t working at any time of the day, or weather. Kurt needs to stop blaming his clients, we are so tired of it. Just show up, and stand guard if that’s what you intend to do.
