Dear Editor,
Please grant me a space in your newspaper to highlight a plight that is facing the residents of the Good Hope New Scheme phase three (the village is located at the back of the existing village). Just like me and every other property-owner in the new scheme, we paid $400,000 for our land and are subjected to poorly constructed red sand roads that are worse than the roads in the Hinterland regions. The fortunate residents of the Good Hope Phase one and two of the same village have paved roads after they invested only $50,000 dollars for their lands.
Mr. Editor, because of the distance of the village from the main road, you are forced to use taxis and the drivers, rightfully so, refuse to come into the village or you have to pay above normal price for the cars to come to your gate.
The rainy season is fast approaching, and I am pleading with someone within the Region four regional offices or the Ministry of Housing to look urgently into this matter. Donald Singh
