WORKERS were, yesterday, dong some temporary repairs to the damaged koker door in Kingston, Georgetown, as the Tuesday floodwaters receded.

Acting Town Clerk Carol Sooba said the structure was removed early in the morning and workmen from the Ministry of Public Works and the Demerara Harbour Bridge will rehabilitate it while a new one is being constructed.
Residents in the Kingston ward were seen cleaning the debris which the flooding left on their premises and, in some instances, preparing precautionary measures.
One resident, Ms. Roxanne Galloway, who spoke with President Donald Ramotar during his visit to the affected area on Tuesday afternoon, said it was the third such occurrence in Kingston and no agency has come forward to accept responsibility for the neglect or offer any compensation.
She indicated that several of those who suffered losses are  single parents with small children who had their foodstuff soaked by the floodwaters and their household items damaged.
Meanwhile, at Ocean View,  Uitvlugt, West Coast Demerara,  about 20 persons who suffered millions of dollars in losses to spring tides during the same period, blamed the local authority for neglecting to have a drain dug and cleared so as to offset the excess water coming from the sea.
Livestock, kitchen gardens, groceries, electrical and domestic utensils were all destroyed during the high tide that has now put householders on the alert.
