The achievements of some city councillors
Dear Editor,
Kindly permit us, the Councillors of Constituency Two, Kitty North and Subryanville, to highlight some of our major achievements for the year 2017.
To begin with, we have completed the cleaning, clearing and rehabilitation of Farnum’s Play Field in Subryanville to the cost of $2.5 million. This project was undertaken under the Councillor’s initiative of “doing positive things on the field and abstaining from negative things on the streets”.
Major financial support in this regard came from Businessman Mr. Sudama Ramlingum of New Trend Auto and Transmission, as well as from Ms. Stacey French of Mae’s School who contributed $100,000. The members of the Northern Rangers Football Club benefitted from this project tremendously. They were able to reach the Semi Finals of the Corona Beer Invitational Football Tournament because of the upgrade in this training facility among other support through this initiative.
Letters were written and petitions were submitted to the Ministry of Public Infrastructure and other Organisations seeking assistance for the following projects;
· The Rehabilitation of Queen Street
· Pere Street between Clive Lloyd Drive and Public Road
· Owen Street
· Goring’s Avenue
· Construction of the bridge in the vicinity of AFC Headquarters that link Kitty and Campbellville
· The cleaning, clearing and desilting of Dowding, Sandy Bobb and Shell Road Alley ways among other projects.
· The cleaning, clearing of Gordon, Pike and Thomas Streets Burial Grounds and have drains dug in them to prevent waterlogging and breeding of mosquitoes that are plaguing our residents.
· Assistance for the completion of the Construction of the Kitty Market.
· The resuscitation of Kitty Welfare and Burial Society.
We are pleased to inform the public that as a constituency, we received much needed support from the Ministry of Public Infrastructure. The aforementioned bridge is presently under construction, major drainage works and clearing of Alley ways, canals are currently being undertaken in Kitty North and Subryanville by small contractors and Residents of Kitty.
However, while we express sincere gratitude to the Ministry of Public Infrastructure and by extension the Government of Guyana for the support in 2017, we shall be grateful if the outstanding projects abovementioned can be undertaken in 2018, in collaboration with the Georgetown Municipality because the harsh reality is, the City Council cannot afford to undertake all these projects due to Financial constraints.
Yours faithfully,
Carlyle Goring
Councillor
Constituency Number Two
