Granger in lightning trip to Linden

President David Granger listening to concerns of residents at Blueberry Hill yesterday

President David Granger made a lightning visit to Linden yesterday and received an enthusiastic welcome at all three locations where he walked and mingled with throngs of residents.

The visit, which was only announced yesterday morning, came just a day after Stabroek News reported Chairman of the Linden Interim Management Committee Orrin Gordon as voicing disappointment at what he perceived as the slow pace at which the new government is moving to address certain critical issues that are affecting Linden.

His first stop was at the busy Amelia’s Ward/Wisroc Bus Park in front the Mackenzie Municipal Market around 4pm, where he was greeted by Regional Chairman Rennis Morian, Deputy Regional Executive Officer Maylene Stephens, the three Region Ten Members of Parliament Sandra Adams, Audwin Rutherford and Jermaine Figueira,
