More sea defence works is needed at Aurora

Nov 02, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
The sea defence works (rip-rap) that was done at Aurora Village on the Essequibo Coast, beginning from where the Nursery School used to be located and ending some 150 meters north in the Johana area, according to all of the residents who used to be flooded out by the high tide, is a piece of work well done by the contractor, Mr. Samaroo, and for which we are grateful.
But we were led to believe that the entire stretch of the vulnerable or critical sea dam would have been done yet less than half of this area was addressed. So overtopping and seeping continue during the high tide or spring tide.
There are other areas in Aurora where sea defence work is currently going on- the Warusi area and a piece at the Aurora Estate, which when completed will secure those areas.
The people’s concerns will only be rested when the entire area is secured. Then and only then will the people say mission accomplish.
Archie Cordis
