Hi,

Attached are fotos taken of the drain in front of Blk 52 Sims Place last Thurs (24 May 07). Sims Drive/Sims Place has been a dengue cluster for quite a number of weeks and the areas have been expanding. There's a lot of mosquitoes in the area, and from the condition of the drains there, it seems as though the drains are the cause of the presence of mosquitoes. Weird that no one has cleaned up the drains yet.
