The Ministry of Public Works yesterday disputed the claims made by a letter writer, C Woolford in the February 21 edition of Stabroek News under the heading `New road at Cornelia Ida Sea View has made our lives a daily struggle’.
In the letter, Woolford had said “A road contractor came in our area and started making our road. Previously, we had a 12 feet wide chip seal road and 7 feet parapets on both sides. Our parapets were the same height with our bridges and the road was about a mere 2 inches higher. Editor, we lived comfortably with that and 2 vehicles could pass each. We also could have temporarily parked on the parapets during the day.
