Immediately restore Farnum Ground to the community open recreational green space  

Dec 13, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor,

We, citizens residing in Subryanville, Georgetown repeat our calls for the Central Housing and Planning Authority and the Mayor and City Council to immediately restore Farnum Ground to the community open recreational green space.

We are surprised that since the media report on 19 November, 2025 “CH&PA orders halt to construction of Mae’s School after works were finished – owner – Demerara Waves Online News- Guyana” there has been no further action from the different Government agencies that are responsible for urban planning and use of land. We expect that since the Cease Order is in effect that the CH&PA and M&CC would intervene to not only enforce its laws but to ensure that people who are responsible for the construction obey the laws.

The Ministry of Education has indicated that no permission was granted for the construction of a private school on Farnum Playground, and yet, the Ministry has taken no further action to ensure that the students have access to education in suitable accommodation on land which is zoned for business use.

The Central Housing and Planning Authority, the Mayor and City Council, the Ministry of Education and other relevant authorities and statutory bodies must do their public duty to ensure that Farnum Playground is restored soon to a communal space. We also urge citizens around Guyana to be vigilant as you protect the spaces needed for our health and well-being.

Sincerely,
Khalid Bacchus
