Help is on the horizon for residents of Festival City, North Ruimveldt who are plagued with poor drainage in their community, says Mayor Patricia Chase-Green.
The Mayor made the announcement during an interview with this newspaper, as she responded to concerns of flooding in the community. A letter from a resident of the community, published in yesterday’s edition of Stabroek News, highlighted the situation of flooding.
“Over the [15] years of residence in this area, it is common to experience a flooded street after even a very short period of rainfall. However, the situation has now worsened to the extent that both E.R. Burrowes and Hummingbird Street, Festival City remain under water long after the rains have stopped,” the letter writer, Rawle Edinboro pointed out.
