After residents of Victoria, East Coast Demerara, turned out on Wednesday in their numbers to protest the state of their main access road, the Ministry of Public Infrastructure has started remedial works.
According Elroy Skeete, the Vice-Chairman, of the Haslington/Golden Grove Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC), the ministry has since agreed to do rehabilitative works on the road until it is able to budget to do the entire road next year.
While the works are not to the extent which the residents were calling for, Skeete said that they were satisfied that attention was brought to the issue quickly and that the government was going to bring some relief to them.
