‘Maintain our access road’ – St Cuthbert’s Mission residents

Feb 12, 2013 News

Residents of St. Cuthbert’s Mission, a location in the upper reaches of the Mahaica River, are appealing to Central Government to carry out a regular maintenance programme on the 12-mile fair weather road leading to the village from the Soesdyke/Linden highway.
A spokesman said that Central Government built the road on an existing trail in 2009 much to the relief of residents but there had not been any regular programme of maintenance since then.
“They did some work on the road for Amerindian Heritage Month but a regular programme of maintenance is necessary because it is a fair weather road and the condition deteriorates especially after the rainy season, “the resident said.
He added that the road is a critical link for residents of the Mission who wish to get to Georgetown and or Linden in an expeditious manner. Its deterioration through lack of regular repairs and maintenance is always a source of worry, he said.
The Mission is also mulling tourism as an economic activity and the road will be very important in support of this.
“What we would like is some maintenance, perhaps once every three months. Our village council has a small grader and tractor and once the heavy work is done by Central Government we can take over and keep the road in reasonable shape,” the spokesman said. St. Cuthbert’s Mission is located 65 miles up the Mahaica River.
The 12-mile road from the Soesdyke/Linden highway makes a trip to Georgetown possibly in about two hours.
