Enterprise Road Safety Association continues to assist Cheshire Home
President of the Enterprise Road Safety Association Chandrapaul Persaud has issued a strong appeal for road users, especially motorists to “spare the drinks and save lives on our roads” as the festive season heats up.
Persaud made the appeal while making his association’s customary Christmas donation to the Cheshire home at Mahaica, East Coast Demerara yesterday.
According to Persaud, there are more vehicles on the country’s roads and a lot of new young drivers; hence there should be greater care and caution while navigating traffic whether it is on busy city streets or on outlying carriageways where motorists are more inclined to speed.
“I want to call on road users to be extra cautious especially since we are in a season where there is expected to be a lot of drinking of alcohol. I want drivers to desist from drinking and driving. We want them to be very focused,” Persaud said.

The Enterprise Road Safety Association has been a friend of the Cheshire Home at Mahaica for the past four decades, donating much needed items and food at this time of the year.
This year members of the association with help from other groups, including the Enterprise Support Inc, USA, donated over $200,000 in supplies to the home which will certainly enable the entity to fulfill its mandate of caring for the increasing number of inmates.
“We believe that this home needs more attention from other organizations. They still need a lot of work here, as well as people to donate items for its upkeep,” Persaud said after a simple handing over ceremony attended by members of the association, nurses and an inmate of the Cheshire Home.
