Dear Editor,
I am a regular visitor to the Amerindian Hostel in Princess Street Georgetown. I have some concerns which I think the relevant authorities should look into. There are some shops across the road opposite the Hostel that sells alcohol and cigarettes to under age children and some ladies take their children including babies at these rum shops. Sometimes the little ones would drop asleep and they would just put them under the table to sleep and continue to sport. In front of the hostel, they are lots of hire cars and private cars that give service to the passengers. They are two private hire car drivers who usually are abusive to one another. They fight for passengers or space to park their car. They both seem to get good support from some staff members of the hostel to do private and government business. Last week one threw a stone at the other and nearly hit a lady. Many believe there need to be more order around the hostel area. There is a flag pole in the hostel compound and a Guyana flag, but many days they don’t raise the flag. Let us all celebrate our 50th anniversary and please raise our national flag daily. C. Williams
