Three Popular Tourist Sites closed for maintenance until further notice

The Ministry of the Environment, Rural Modernization and Kalinago Upliftment has closed three popular tourist sites for maintenance and rehabilitation works.

The Ministry announced on Monday that the Emerald Pool, Trafalgar Falls and Middleham Falls will be closed for rehabilitation until further notice, as well as segments 8, 11 and 13 of the Waitikubuli National trail.

Project Officer within the Ministry Liam Sebastien says works on the sites are needed as Dominica braces for the brunt of the Hurricane season.

The Ministry faces challenges in blocking off the sites to public use, and Sebastien urged persons to stay away from the places under rehabilitation to ensure public safety.
