Residents of Genip Lane, East Ruimveldt have expressed their disappointment and frustration over the government’s decision to convert a portion of a play area into a 12-ft wide concrete road without their input or consent.
According to Fidel Waddell, contractors with an excavator showed up to the area last week, without any prior consultation with the community, and began excavating. Waddell said that when the residents inquired about the reason for the excavation, they were informed that it was for road construction. This sparked outrage among residents who claim that their children usually use the area as a playfield. The residents also lamented feeling excluded from the decision-making process.
