AS I am typing this letter, motor vehicle number PKK 2225 is blocking the ingress and egress of my property. It is parked in front of my bridge and the owner/driver is in the rum shop. It has been there for the past three hours.

I had to go out, but because the entrance to my property was blocked I could not use my own vehicle. Instead, I had to use a taxi.
I have returned and PKK 2225 is still in the same position. One neighbour said to me to go to the bar and get the driver to remove the vehicle.  Why should I go to the rum shop where there is so much vulgarity?

Since this rum shop opened my life has become a hell. The patrons behave in such manner that they will never do in their meighbourhoods. The time has come for the Central Housing and Planning Authority to look at businesses having parking for customers and patrons should be on/in the premises of the business and not the pavements consuming alcohol in the public view.

As for blocking my ingress and egress by other vehicles before, I was told by a police officer that I do not own the parapet. It is the City Council’s reserve. Every one has a right to it. On the other hand, there is no one in Guyana more powerful than the son of a rich person . They can do what they want and their fathers will use money to defend them.
