The new Head of Traffic in G Division (Essequibo Coast-Essequibo Islands), Alfred Park is calling on road users traversing the Essequibo Coast roadways to be more cautious, more patient and to avoid speeding.
G Division’s new Head of Traffic, Alfred Park
Park, who recently replaced Arunnauth Ramnauth, assured that he would be working along with the Divisional Commander Khalid Pasheram, and other traffic ranks to ensure that road safety and traffic rules were adhered to within the region.
Ramnauth was transferred to C Division (East Coast Demerara) weeks ago. During an interview with this publication, Park further explained that drivers needed to slow down and place more value on lives while they use the roadways. Since he assumed office, there have been two accidents, which he explained, were too many for a small county like Essequibo. He also pointed to the far-reaching effects of accidents, particularly on the lives of the families involved. Only recently, Roy Lowe from Zorg was hospitalised after a motor car drove into his path on the Zorg Public Road. Lowe suffered a dislocated hip and bruises to his eyes.
