Inaction defeating an important purpose

Jun 25, 2011 Letters

Dear Editor,
The important walkway across the creek that separates the villages of Pomona and Riverstown on the Essequibo Coast was recently renovated at a cost which I do not know, but from using same, I can say that it was well constructed.
But what is disturbing is that there is a large amount of stone on the southern (Pomona) side of the walkway, on the public road, and it is actually blocking the path of pedestrians.
It must be noted that this stone was there a long time before the repairs to this crossing were done, and is noticeable to all – including the Regional Officials, whose duty it is to ensure that such hindrances must not be placed in such an area and also to have them removed.
Although I have raised this issue at the Works Committee Meeting – a Statutory Committee meeting of the Regional Democratic Council that was held on Thursday 2nd June, 2011 – and assurances were given that this large amount of stone would be removed, at the time of writing this letter – more than three weeks later – not a pebble has been removed.
This action or inaction would only serve to defeat the very purpose for which this walkway was constructed.
