-insists full council discusses project
Deputy Mayor of Georgetown Sherod Duncan yesterday maintained that the controversial parking meters project should be taken to the full council for approval and he said he will be seeking legal advice on the way forward.
Amid a raging row over a shadowy deal for the US$10m parking meters project, Duncan also expressed consternation over the reported 49-year duration of the deal and the quality of the negotiating that went into it.
Just three months after historic local government elections, the deal which was secretly struck last November has created a divide in the council and particularly among the APNU+AFC councillors. Both Duncan and Mayor Patricia Chase-Green are councillors for APNU+AFC but they have taken diametrically opposed views to the deal.
