Member of Parliament (MP) for Manchester North-Western, Mikael Phillips says Manchester is experiencing a water crisis, that is negatively impacting the parish’s growth.

Speaking at the opening ceremony for a water shop in Mile Gully, on Friday, Mr. Phillips said only a small part of his constituency has access to piped water.

He said plans to construct a new facility for the Mile Gully High school, have been delayed by the lack of potable water in the area.
