RDC councillors urge action against speeding

A PARTNERSHIP for National Unity (APNU) Councillor, Ms. Linda Duncan has called on the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) to address the problem of speeding on the Essequibo Coast Public Road.

Speaking at the November statutory meeting, she declared there are too many deaths caused by it and demanded that the RDC look, seriously, to see what can be done to reduce the number of accidents and road fatalities.
Another APNU Councillor, Mr.Wazir Latiff suggested the widening of the Essequibo Coast Public Road because of the large fleet of vehicles currently using the roadway.
Only recently, a 26-year-old unlicensed and inexperienced driver lost his life because of speeding on the Maria’s Delight Public Road and, in another recent accident, a newspaper vendor was killed on the Sparta Public Road when a van struck him.
A 71-year-old pensioner also met his demise on the Riverstown Public Road after being hit by a car.
