OVER 100 social workers from the Ministry of Labour and Social Security and the Social Development Commission (SDC) will be sent into Tivoli Gardens, Hannah Town, Denham Town, Fletchers Land and surrounding communities to conduct a social survey following recent operations by the security forces in West Kingston.

The objectives of their investigation will be to assess the level of dislocation to families, damage to houses, businesses and property and loss of income arising from the military exercise. The situation relating to children will also be a major focus of the survey.

The social workers will gather information over the next three days and a report will be submitted to Prime Minister Bruce Golding on Friday.

Following these assessments, appropriate support will be provided by the Government to enable early restoration of normalcy in affected communities.
