Utility service providers continue to damage the roads

Aug 09, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor,

This, I have seen all my life from 1964 to 1992, the Government of Guyana had a way of building new roads. However, just after the completion of these roads, the Guyana Telephone Company or Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) will bring a crew and “bruck up” the brand new road to install their water and telephone lines to supply a service that the Guyanese consumers paid for.

The Guyana Telephone Company and GWI don’t do Guyanese a favour because they are being compensated by the users of their services.

I thought with the new government such behavior would change, however the culture continues today. Let me mention for instance, the street I live in, which is John Street, Campbellville. After years of having a bad road, the Ministry of Public Works repaired and resurfaced John Street, Campbellville.

How beautiful and convenient it looked but within eight weeks, GPL came and cut the entire road width by 24-inches wide and leave the beautiful street uncomfortable to drive on. As if that was not enough, the Ministry came again and dug up both sides of the street from Sherriff Street to Stone Avenue to install new pipelines to supply their customers with water and we the consumers and taxpayers must pay. I asked the Minister to investigate this matter since most of the residents cannot get a proper entrance to their yards and the sight is very distasteful.

Yours truly,

Frank DeAbreu
