And when it rains, it floods, and for city residents, it's tough to move in and out of their homes. But it's even tougher on those who move around their neighborhoods on London Bridges. Minister Hyde has committed to getting rid of them but he says it's not easy in the rainy season. He added though that the city council has to play a part.

"We have to continue pushing with that. The problem is that when you abolish London Bridges, more come up, like, I can tell you in all the years that I've been elected, we would reach a point where we abolish 100% and then more come up, that's just the nature of the beast, but I think the council has to take on some of that heavy lifting in conjuction with the area representatives to really tackle those because when there's a hurricane, and when there's a weather, it's very hard to navigate, it's very hard for those folks who are practically in the water. We got rid of a bunch of ours and we still have a few to go and we will continue to push on that and I'm going to try to get rid of those before this season passes."

"But the season passes, that's in November."
Cordel Hyde, Deputy Prime Minister
"Yeah but it's rainy season time and so there's a limit to the amount of work you can get done in this time, that's why people always push to get that work done before because it rains practically every week, like we are paving streets right now and we've had to pave half and leave the other half because the rains are here so it's kind of hoping the weather works with us and we get it done."
