Over 100 hire car drivers who operate in Black Bush Polder came together on Monday morning in protest, calling for officials to pay heed and fix their main access road, even as the region indicated that it is in the process of securing bids for the road’s repairs.
The drivers are contending that they have given officials long enough time to take it upon themselves to organise the finances to carry out the road works. However, they said that it has been over two years and nothing has yet been done to improve the deplorable state of the road, and as such, they believe that it is time for them to let their frustrations be heard.
Troy Fraser, who resides in Adventure Village, Corentyne and works the Black Bush route, on Monday stressed that it is time for Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson to pay heed to their call for a new main access road. The man noted that they have put up with the condition of the road for long enough.
