The issue over the development of a community ground at De Kinderen, West Coast of Demerara, has been resolved, the Department of Public Information (DPI) has reported.
Minister of Social Cohesion, Dr George Norton, and Director-General of the Ministry of the Presidency, Joseph Harmon, yesterday afternoon, met with the residents of De Kinderen, to address the development of a community ground into a multipurpose facility.
Last August during a community meeting that was attended by Norton, the residents had called for the establishment of a multi-purpose centre and playground in the area to support talented youths. The minister at the time reminded the residents that the government had already committed $7.7 million for the development of the Boerasirie community ground. In addition, some residents had suggested that the plot of land on which the old GuySuCo’s “Pay Office” was situated, be converted since it had suitable space for such a facility.
