Abandoned Chateau Margot police training school a haven for criminals

Dear Editor,

I am a resident of Chimney Road, Chateau Margot, East Coast Demerara. There is a police building which used to be the Laurie Lewis Training School situated on this very road.

This building is the most filthy one in the entire area. It brings down the property price. It is also dangerous for people living in the area.

At nights the building is used as ‘hotel.’ The doors and windows are left open day and night. There is no proper fence. Vagrants, cows, sheep, dogs, etc, can be found in the compound. It is a safe haven for criminals. The police don’t care. This matter was reported to them many times.

I am appealing to the Commissioner of Police and the Minister of Home Affairs to look into this matter with urgency.

Yours faithfully,
