Dear Editor,
For the better part of two years the main road leading to the Charity Wharf or to be more precise the last one hundred and fifty metres has become a one-way road and this decision was made primarily to accommodate vendors on both sides of the road and quite recently the Mini Bus and Car Park that was constructed has been given to the vendors to ply their trade so as to facilitate infrastructure work at the extreme end of the road.
The above actions and decisions are understandable although for some not welcome by some operators of these buses and hire cars and also some commuters who have to walk some distance to get to the waterfront with luggage sometimes.
There are two diversions one on each side of the public road, that would also lead drivers to the extreme end of the public road where persons living and travelling to the Pomeroon River and also to Region One, would embark and disembark.
But these very important roads which I do believe come under the direct control of the Charity-Urasra Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) have been totally neglected and have been allowed to become close to impassable notwithstanding the amount of vehicular traffic and persons living in that area that have to use these roads daily.
It is beyond the comprehension of any reasonable thinking person, why this NDC singularly or collectively with the Regional Administration cannot have these roads fixed. The Regional Administration and the NDC in question have so much to gain and nothing to lose by having these roads fixed.
It would be remiss of me not to say that on Monday 19.08.2019 I visited this NDC Office and was shown a quantity of crusher run that was purchased sometime back for the repairs of these roads mentioned, but the person I spoke with was not sure why the work was not yet started. A job is not done until it is finished.
Yours faithfully,
Archie W. Cordis
Former AFC Councillor
