Dear Editor,
For 10 years now, the access roads and cross streets at the front Compound Housing Scheme at Onverwagt, West Coast Berbice, have been neglected.
Although residents have been paying their rates and taxes, nothing is being done to ensure they can walk and drive in comfort and in ease in their ingress and egress.
The Regional Democratic Council (RDC) of this region seems to be heartless and unconcerned about the people (public servants, teachers, nurses, Police Officers, welfare officers and doctors) who live in this Onverwagt Front Compound.
Access roads and cross streets in other villages from Cotton Tree to Tempie Village have been rehabilitated over a period of years, excluding Onverwagt.
The Neighbourhood Democratic Council of Union/Naarstigheid has been telling some residents since 2015 that the roads will be rehabilitated the next year 2016, then 2017, but up to the end of last year nothing has been done.
Therefore, Communities Minister Ronald Bulkan and Public Infrastructure Minister David Patterson – could you please through your official and kind intervention take and make note of this report, because apart from the residents there are also Government businesses such as GWI, the Agriculture Ministry, NAREI, the GLDA Regional Office and the GPL located in the community and sometimes cannot be readily accessible especially during the heavy rainy season.
The entrance road to these buildings which is also the entrance road for the Front Compound Housing Scheme at Onverwagt is flooded and hazardous to customers.
Thank you.
In anticipation,
Long suffering resi
dent,
Grace Pollydore and
others
