The Member of Parliament for Moruga /Tableland Michelle Benjamin fears for the lives of some of her constituents because of what she says is a worsening landslip in the area.

The landslip, which occurred last week, left Indian Walk impassible and many homes on the verge of collapse.

Seven families have appealed to government to repair the massive landslip before their homes are destroyed.

Ms. Benjamin says residents have been forced to do stabilization work on their own.

However, Ms. Benjamin yesterday said inclement weather has prevented the work.

Speaking with Newscenter 5 yesterday, Ms. Benjamin said flooding is now an issue.

The landslip has already left the road impassible and over the weekend heavy rainfall resulted in more destruction to their properties.

Residents have been appealing to the government to fix the landslip for the past 4 years.
