Lindeners asked to respect synthetic track site

–Incidents of theft reported

Construction works continue to progress on the eight-lane synthetic track at Bayroc Community Centre Ground in Wismar, Linden, Region 10, but contractors have been reporting multiple incidents of theft occurring at the site.
These disappointing reports have been coming in since construction began in January 2019, but the project, now in the third of its four phases, has been minimally hindered by the loss of a quantity of building materials. These materials include drainage pipes, sand, security fencing, crusher-run, stone, steel rods, fuel, truck batteries, and even security lights.
The Department of Social Cohesion, Culture, Youth and Sport of the Ministry of the Presidency (MoTP) remains disappointed by the actions of some residents, as those actions reflect poorly on the Bayroc community, Linden, and Guyana as a whole.
The MoTP wishes to remind Lindeners that the synthetic track project is a massive multi-million-dollar investment geared at enhancing the performance of the community’s athletes; and once operational, this state-of-the-art facility will undoubtedly attract multiple developments for Linden and its people.
The MoTP accordingly expects residents to respect and treasure this facility.
The matter has been reported to the Police, and security reinforcements have been installed. Regrettably, as a precautionary measure, residents of Linden are asked to desist from traversing the site. This restriction is being implemented as a means of maintaining the integrity of ongoing works, the MoTP has said.
