A job is not done until it is finished
DEAR EDITOR,
For the better part of two years the main road leading to the Charity Wharf – or to be more precise, the last one hundred and fifty metres – has become a one-way road, and this decision was made primarily to accommodate vendors on both sides of the road. And quite recently, the Mini Bus and Car Park that was constructed has been given to the vendors to ply their trade, so as to facilitate infrastructure work at the extreme end of the road.
The above actions and decisions are understandable, although for some not welcome – by some operators of these buses and hire cars and also some commuters who have to walk some distance to meet the waterfront, with luggage sometimes.
There are two diversions one on each side that would also lead drivers to the extreme end of the public road where persons living and travelling to the Pomeroon River and also to region one, would embark and disembark.
But these very important roads which I do believe come under the direct control of the Charity/Urasara Neighbourhood Democratic Council (N.D.C.) have been totally neglected and are being allowed to become close to impassable due to the deplorable state they are currently in.
When one looks at the amount of vehicular traffic, and persons living in that area that have to use these roads daily, it is beyond the comprehension of any reasonable thinking person, why this N.D.C. singularly or collectively with the Regional Administration, cannot have these roads fixed. The Regional Administration and the N.D.C. in question have so much to gain and nothing to lose.
It would be remiss of me not to say that on Monday August 19, 2019, I visited this N.D.C. Office and was shown a quantity of crusher run that was purchased sometime back for the repairs of these roads mentioned, but the person I spoke with was not sure why the work was not yet started. A job is not done until it is finished.
