Mayor Roop will transform GT and bring it back to its former glory

Feb 28, 2010 Letters

Dear Editor,
Restoring Georgetown to its past glory as the ‘Garden City’ of the Caribbean will take an action man with the energy, intelligence and vision to plan major improvements, implement them and ensure their sustainability.
This new action Mayor must be a team player, baggage-free and a respected leader of men. Of course the new Georgetown Mayor must also be respected by the citizenry and have credible private sector experience to be able to forge the successful Public-Private Partnerships (P3) which Georgetown so badly needs.
He may have to operate without the badly needed fiscal transfer reforms and be subjected to the centrally directed selfishness, spite and short-sightedness that continue to cripple the city’s evolution as a modern capital. But Mayor Roop knows this and is working on counter measures.
The private sector is highly impressed with Mayor Roop’s enthusiasm and ideas for modernizing our capital city and many are anxious to become involved in Georgetown’s revitalization and restoration as the Caribbean’s premier garden city.
Apart from the built city there is massive potential for urban regeneration in Mayor Roop’s plans for Georgetown particularly in developing port Georgetown as a modern multi-purpose P3 initiative along with the Demerara River banks, the Sea wall, the city’s green spaces and the degraded inner city areas.
In every sense Mayor Roop is the man to make a difference to our decaying capital city. I wish him all success.
F. Hamley Case
