DURING a visit to Recht Door Zee Phases I and II in Region 3 (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara), Minister with responsibility for Housing in the Ministry of Communities,Keith Scott, related that beautification of the environment, creation of recreational facilities, construction of schools and improved road and drainage networks are some areas that have been identified for upgrades.Minister Scott visited the housing schemes on Tuesday last and made these observations. He was accompanied by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CHPA), Myrna Pitt; Director of Operations, Denise King-Tudor; Senior Community Development Officer, Donell Bess-Bascom; and Enforcement Officer Lester Kitt.
The housing scheme at Recht Door Zee Phase I includes houses which were constructed under the Core House Pilot. This project was implemented by the Government of Guyana in collaboration with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Second Low-Income Settlement Programme.
Recht Door Zee Phase II is also one of the Low- Income Settlement (LIS) Two Project, home to the professionals’ pilot, which saw 206 lots allocated to teachers, nurses and police officers. These persons would have taken mortgages from Republic Bank (RBL) and the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI), to realise their dreams of home ownership.
Determined to achieve Government’s vision of building cohesive communities, Minister Scott inspected the housing schemes to identify needed community development projects. The minister explained that he is pleased with Republic Bank Guyana Limited and the services that they have offered to the residents and expressed the hope that other banks would come on board to assist the working class in improving their living conditions.
He advised that self-help groups should be formed to assist in beautifying the communities and a playground with club-house facility should be constructed to promote sports such as football and cricket. In addition, the Westminster Multi-Purpose Building should be renovated and properly utilised to benefit residents.
