Dear Editor,
The residents of West Dam Vryheid’s North, East Coast Demerara, once a squatting area, have lived here since 1964 with our families.
This dam stretches from the public road to the sea wall. All of the residents pay their taxes when the year is up, but to this day it remains a mud dam. It is worse than in 1964; there is no road, no drainage and irrigation, no truck selling provisions and greens, and even the vendor selling fish and shrimps is not coming into the dam, because they are afraid they will get stuck.
Yours faithfully,
Rambeer Ramlall,
Editor’s note
We are sending a copy of this letter to Chairman of the Better Hope/LBI Neighbourhood Democratic Council, Mr Thakur Persaud, for any comments he might wish to make.
You might as well face it Rambeer my friend, but in all honesty?… sometimes the whole of Guyana could be described as one big mud-flat. OUCH………
What do you expect? Look at the thinking of the people running the country for the past 44 years. And if they continue for the next 44 years VH will still remain a mud damn!
