Some parts of Bartica/ Potaro road already washing away

Oct 18, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor
Residents of Bartica are very concerned about of the continuous ‘patching’ of the Bartica/Potaro Road which confirms our view that the road will soon end up back to square one and tax payers money will continue to be wasted, since some areas that the workers seem to have completed already have holes. With the little rainfall over the past few days, the tar that was used on the road is washing away and even sticking on vehicles.
Mr. Editor, last year September when the road was patched/repaired, the tar was washing away in the same way. We have also observed that the sand and other waste that was left at the side of the road from the drain that was recently dug is being used to repair some areas of the road.
Work on the road is being done at nights with the absent of a proper lighting plan system, so how can the workers get to see what they are doing properly? Also we are wondering who is supervising the workers at night?
Due to the type of work done last year September on the road, we were convinced that the same type or similar work will be done again, since no asphalt machine were brought to Bartica to construct the road.
The letter seeks to find out what intended plans the leaders of this region have relating to the implementation and establishment of a proper road in this region, and make recommendation where it sees fit, give assistance and work with the leaders to ensure that a proper long lasting heavy-duty road is constructed.
In closing I am calling on all of the Residents/youths to join the membership of the Bartica United Youth Development Group and let us work together in Developing this Region. Micah Williams
General President/Chief Negotiator,
Bartica United Development Group
