DEAR EDITOR,
I would like to draw your attention along with Guyana Sanitation Sector to a fast food outlet on the West Coast of Demerara. I am the owner of Lot 8 New Road, Vreed-en-Hoop, WCD and waste from the raw chicken from that outlet cannot drain through the parapet in front of my residence. The waste has blocked the drain on the parapet.
There are two big holes that anyone can see through and it is blocked with chicken waste and it is filthy stink. The foul stench is worst in front of my residence and in front of that outlet. I spoke twice with the supervisor of that outlet and nothing is being done about it. The smell is so bad that anyone who walks pass or exit their vehicle in front of my residence or that outlet can see and smell it. The two holes are very big and can easily be captured photographically, and I have done so many times.
On 4 March, 2020 I also spoke with someone there concerning the smell and blocking of my entrance. In January 2020 I again spoke with the supervisor, this time, concerning their customers blocking my entrance. I will not park elsewhere and walk to my residence.
Customers are not supposed to be blocking my entrance at no time. I am fed up talking to these people. What I had to do, whenever my entrance is not clear when I go there, the only place for me to park is in front of the outlet and block it and they have to wait whenever I exit my home to move my vehicle.
I also had another problem with the outlet concerning their customers eating and drinking and disposing of their cups and boxes in front of my yard. I spoke with the supervisor and that was addressed. The front of my yard now is free of the boxes and cups. The drainage situation continues to be one of the biggest bother.
