Kuru Kuru, Soesdyke-Linden Highway residents are seeking urgent interventions from authorities as they say their community’s deplorable road network and subpar water supply continue to be neglected.

Villagers yesterday highlighted their plight to this newspaper during a visit to the community.

Ray Ferrier, a businessman and poultry farmer who has been residing in the village for past 14 years, told Stabroek News that infrastructure in the community has been and continues to be neglected. “All we have is the demarcation with sand. No loam or anything. We cannot call this a road. This sawdust here we had come together and throw it to make it easier for us to use,” he said before lamenting that “the [sand on the road] is very loose now because we are not having any rains. It is almost impassable for vehicles to come.”
