APNU’s Councillor on the Region 2 Democratic Council, (RDC) Mr. Prince Shepherd, at a recent special meeting of the RDC, commended the Region 2 Administration and Regional Chairman Mr. Parmanand Persaud for putting sand and loam on several access dams in the rice growing areas along the Essequibo Coast, to prevent mud from getting onto the surface of the public road.

Mr. Shepherd said the Sparta dam was one area where tractors were always dumping mud on the road after coming out from the back dam, and intervention of the Regional Chairman to do that part of the surfacing of the dam with sand and loam has changed that situation.
Responding to Councillor Shepherd, the Chairman said more dams would be done with sand and loam during the year, once funds are available; and several cross dams would also be done so as to avoid mud from being dumped on the public road by tractors coming out from the backdam.
