A 38-year-old landmark in the community of Charity, Essequibo Coast is rapidly sinking into the Pomeroon River causing great concern for the residents and the Neighborhood Democratic Council (NDC) of the community.
An urgent appeal was made yesterday by the Charity/Urasara NDC to the Regional Administration for keen attention to be paid to the Marketing Centre that is sinking on the northern and southern sides.
The Marketing Centre houses several stalls including a general store and there is fear that the structure will soon collapse into the Pomeroon River over which it is situated. The sinking is as a result of rotten wooden piles that support the concrete structure.
