Region 10 RDC to build several internal roads

With assistance from the Ministry of Communities, Region 10 (Upper Demerara/Berbice) Democratic Council (RDC) is slated to undertake construction of approximately 10 internal roads within Linden community. The roads, which are situated at both Wismar and Mackenzie were identified by councillors and Regional Chairman Renis Morian last week, prior to a meeting with representatives of the Ministry, last Friday.

The RDC has identified several roads in Amelia’s Ward, Kwakwani and Wisroc as critical areas, which will be prioritised. These include at Amelia’s Ward (Teachers’ hostel street and Main street), Wisroc (Tank Street and adjoining street), Block 22 (Ice Water Road), Kwakwani (from the arch to Worrel’s Park), Wismar Housing Scheme (Primary school street), Blueberry Hill, One Mile Extension, and Christiansburg (cemetery road).

According to Morian, before the roads were identified, the Council had considered many factors including the amount of persons using the roads as well as the population of the community where it is located. He said the Ministry of Public Infrastructure has also expressed interest in undertaking a similar project in Linden.
