Golden Grove/Haslington market will be upgraded

Jul 18, 2015 News

Minister Dawn Hastings-Williams, who has responsibility for Regional Development, within the Ministry of Communities, recently held consultations with officials from Region Four, Golden Grove/Haslington Neighbourhood Democratic Council, UNDP and market vendors at Golden Grove.
The meeting was intended to ascertain needed improvements in the operations of the market and solid waste management.
The developmental works will be funded under a Guyana/India Brazil South Africa (IBSA) South-south CooperationUS$1M Guyana Solid Waste Management Improvement Programme. The United Nations Development Fund (UNDP) is assisting the Ministry with the implementation of the project.
The consultations which began at the NDC boardroom culminated following a tour of the market. The tour allowed officials of the Ministry and UNDP a firsthand look at the needs of vendors. Two main challenges raised by vendors that could be corrected through this project are the absence of a sanitary block and proper drainage.
The usage of the Golden Grove/Haslington NDC market tarmac was also discussed. While some vendors are ready to occupy the structure others are reluctant to move from the existing market.
Minister Hastings-Williams has pledged the Ministry’s support for the projects vendors deem important. She stressed that markets with proper solid waste management are necessary for functional communities and healthy living.
