DEAR EDITOR,
The road from the Mahaica Market to Cane Grove is in a deplorable state. Currently it’s the rainy season and the condition of the road has worsened. Foot pedestrians such as school children face a monumental hurdle to cross potholes that spread over 20 feet in some areas. During the dry season, the situation with dust makes living in the area a nightmare because it blows into people’s homes. This road is the only thoroughfare from Mahaica Market to Cane Grove and large parts of the road is bare loam. It’s hard to believe that a main road is dirt and not asphalt. The previous government had largely ignored the pleas from residents on the improvement of the road. Minister Cathy Hughes visited the Cane Grove area just before the previous local government election to solicit votes. We asked her about fixing this road and all she could have responded was that people don’t pay their taxes so it’s difficult to do projects. I felt a sigh of relieve when Hon. Minister Edghill visited the area on 5th December, 2020 and promised to have this important road fixed. Mahaica is a recognized village in Guyana and needs good all weather roads.
Resident of Mahaica
