Anna Regina Town Council embarks on clean-up activities

The Anna Regina Town Council is doing general desilting on all clogged trenches in the township. Speaking with Guyana Times, Deputy Mayor Darshan Persaud said as a result of the inclement weather conditions, the Council decided to conduct general desilting exercises on the town’s main drainage system. He added that construction of new culverts, where needed, for a more improved and better managed drainage system has also been undertaken.
According to Persaud, residents within the township will also see improvements of those streets, which are in deplorable conditions.
One of the main complaints the Council has received, he said, was the none functioning of street lights within the township.
According to Persaud, this matter will be addressed since Minister within the Public Infrastructure Ministry, Annette Ferguson said in her independence speech at Anna Regina that the Essequibo Coast will benefit from a total of 10,000 LED lights from Japan that will be imported to replace the existing street lights in Guyana.
