Communities Ministry helping to complete Kitty Market overhaul

The Ministry of Communities is assisting the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) with the completion of the rehabilitation of the Kitty Market.

The works on the market, which were initiated in February, 2016, have been stalled for months due to the M&CC being unable to source finances.

However, the Ministry of Communities, in an ad in last Thursday’s Stabroek News, invited bids for the rehabilitation of Kitty Market.

M&CC spokeswoman Debra Lewis explained to Stabroek News that the council had written to the ministry asking for financial assistance to complete the project. She noted that the council is hoping that the rehabilitation works would be completed by the end of 2017, given the assistance from the ministry.
