Annandale’s roads and drains to be rehabilitated

President Irfaan Ali on Thursday assured residents that the government will work on rehabilitating a number of cross streets and the drainage network in Annandale, on the East Coast of Demerara.

According to an Office of the President statement, Ali made the pledge during an impromptu visit to Annandale South and Annandale West on Thursday afternoon, when he interacted with residents, listened to their concerns and suggestions.

“We have to work on connecting this road back to the railway embankment. We have to look at the reserve and ensuring that the reserve area is kept and the road is completed because once that is done then you have direct access from the highway and the railway embankment that can be further upgraded. In addition to that, there are a number of cross streets in the Annandale area that we are looking to have local involvement in building concrete roads. So those are some of the things that we have seen,” Ali was quoted as saying
