DEAR EDITOR,
I pen this missive to raise awareness of an unfolding situation in Goed Fortuin, West Bank Demerara.
I am not sure what the RDC of Region 3 is doing, but the infrastructure in Goed Fortuin is in a terrible and crumbling state. From impassable roads, to crumbling bridges, to a lack of sufficient street lighting in the schemes, it is like taking a step into an abandoned town. Imagine walking home at night in total darkness, dodging huge pools of water on the road, then almost falling into a trench because of an almost destroyed bridge.
The RDC should not have let the situation get so bad. If there was constant maintenance being done, I’m sure it would not be as expensive as it would be now to completely rebuild these structures. At the very least, fixing and adding new lights would have helped greatly.
I am hoping that the RDC will be acting soon to address this myriad of problems that the residents are facing.
Sincerely,
Kapil Singh
