Dear Editor,
Can you publish this letter in your column for me please so that someone in authority can look into this matter?
There is a trench between West Ruimveldt Front Road and Laing Avenue, it is really an eye sore and a health problem with the long bushes and trees among other things living in the trench. I think it is time the City Council should get involved in and get workers to clean that which was once a trench and not a jungle as it seems to be right now.
I am suggesting also that if the council can get the right tools and employ the youths in the area who are unemployed and are willing to take on the job.
I know that the City Council can afford to pay the young people in that area for such for such a job because the rates and tax the City Council collects can over pass the total amount they might have to pay the youths and the high amount of money it loans to its workers In advance.
Come on Mr. Green, take an early morning drive along West Ruimveldt Front Road and you will see the mess you have the residents in. Donate a month of you and your staff’s salary towards the cleaning of the trench which you have inherited in a good state when you became the Mayor of Georgetown.
Under no other Mayor of this country can I remember seeing that trench in that state and condition. Colin Andrews
