Region Two Chairperson Vilma De Silva has said that said that dumping of garbage is the main contributing factor to flooding in the Charity area and that all vendors encroaching on the drainage system in the Charity/Ursara Neighbour-hood Democratic Council (NDC) will be relocated to a nearby tarmac opposite their current vending space.
The Chairperson made these remarks during an interview with the media and said that the garbage situation has become uncontrollable and intolerable, and as a result the Regional Administration, the Charity/Ursara NDC and the Guyana Police Force will be taking stern action to clear and relocate vendors. The current vending area will be converted into a car park. “We can no longer tolerate vendors building stalls over the drainage system. It is blocking the area and garbage is filling the trenches. We need to put a stop to all this and clean the system,” De Silva said.
