Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill yesterday visited the Stabroek Market area where vendors were complaining bitterly about flooding due to clogged drains and a broken valve and he ordered his Special Projects Unit to intervene.
He accused the Mayor and City Council of Georgetown of neglect, according to a release from the ministry.
According to the Minister, “Mayor and City Council needs to do their job. They are collecting revenue and are not functioning as they should, especially in the Markets. What are they doing with taxpayers money? We are doing Albouystown and other projects already on their behalf presently.”
Edghill also visited the Transport and Harbours Goods Wharf on Water Street, Georgetown where he urged the ground staff to enforce the wearing of masks and social distancing.
He also inspected a new generator ready to be sent to Region One.
Over in D’Urban Backlands, Edghill inspected ongoing construction work at Eleazar, Phase 2.
