Dear Editor,
For the past 10 or 12 years we the residents of this small community of Nooten-Zuil, East Coast Demerara have been suffering from horrible drainage, due to clogged up trenches with little or no cleaning from the relevant authorities. To top it all is our deplorable main access road which has returned to a mud dam gradually.
After years of having various media houses visiting and highlighting our road conditions to no avail we eventually invited the Minister of Local Government Mr. Nigel Dharamlall to our community to hear and see the plight of the residents of this community in January of this year where he listened and made recommendations and promised much to the joy and anticipation of the residents. But lo and behold we are still awaiting even a single of those promises to be manifested to date as we continue to trek through the mud and destroy our vehicles on a daily basis as those responsible for the development of our community continue to ignore us.
Finally Mr. Editor , we the residents of Nooten-Zuil have come to the conclusion that the situation that we face is first and foremost political and we have been victimised because they were given party membership forms to fill and return to a PPP representative who lives in a nearby village but the residents did not do such hence the delay in doing the necessary works that is so badly in need of completion. We the residents are at our wits end and are contemplating drastic actions with the hope that we will receive the desired relief we so desperately seek.
Thank you!
Regards,
Residents of Nootenzuil
