Residents of Victoria, East Coast Demerara, gathered yesterday morning, armed with placards, to protest the state of their main road, which they say is in a “deplorable and impassable” condition and they are asking the relevant authorities to fix it “immediately.”
The residents gathered at the top of Middle Walk Road, Victoria from as early as 7:00am, demanding the government turn its attention to the community, and the road that they say has been causing them severe inconvenience over the past decade.
The road is littered with large potholes, some spanning the entire width of the road. There are also structural faults where certain parts of the road are of varying levels, thus making it difficult for cars and other vehicles to traverse on a daily basis.
Stabroek News arrived at the scene around 11:00am yesterday, where the residents were walking along the approximately one mile long road chanting and encouraging other residents to join them and “let their voices be heard.”
