Region 10 council, REO clash over collapsed Silvertown wall

The collapsed Silvertown drains

The Region 10 council has rejected an explanation from its Regional Executive Officer (REO), Dwight John that the collapse of a retaining wall at Silverttown was not the fault of the contractor.

John, had been written to by the Upper Demerara/Upper Berbice Council, and asked to explain how a retaining wall that was built to support a road upgrade in Silvertown, Linden, collapsed.

The REO was additionally asked to justify the continuous award of contracts to the same construction company.
