The road blocked by a big heap of sand at Chateau Margot

RESIDENTS of Chateau Margot, East Coast Demerara are complaining bitterly about a road (second street) being blocked by a huge heap of sand thus preventing ingress and egress to vehicles.

According to the residents complaints have been lodged to both the police and the Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) but so far no action has been taken. In addition, they said they spoke with the contractor concerned but he ignored their concerns as well.

The residents are extremely worried about what would happen in the event of an emergency such as a fire or someone having to seek urgent medical attention.

As such they are calling on the relevant authority to take appropriate action to have the blocked road cleared as quickly as possible.
