In response to concerns by residents of Ann’s Grove that the community has been neglected by the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA), the Public Infrastructure Ministry, following a survey of the area, has assured that infrastructural works are underway.

According to a press release from the Ministry of Public Infrastructure, last Wednesday and Thursday, the entity’s National Task Force Commission was deployed to conduct site visits to the Grove/Haslington Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) and the Community Development Council (CDC), respectively. The visits came following a report in Stabroek News of January 29 on complaints by residents.

While there, the release said, it was observed that the Ann’s Grove east sideline areas had been cleaned.
