THE Guyana National Road Safety Council (GNRSC) in an effort to raise funds for the work of the organisation is hosting a Bar-B-Que and Karaoke on November 30, 2014 at Transport Sports Club, Thomas Lands.

The GNRSC had rolled out their list of activities to observe National Road Safety month on October 31, 2014 during a press conference at the Red Cross Secretariat, Barrack Street, Kingston.

The council at the time called for stiffer penalties for drunk drivers in cases of road fatalities as they observed the month under the theme: “The time is now, don’t drink and drive. Drive defensive.”

GNRSC Chairman, Dennis Pompey said that the National Road Safety Association has its presence in all the divisions countrywide and would be hosting activities to commemorate road safety month.

Meanwhile, GNSRC is calling on the general public to support their upcoming B-B-Q activity since reducing deaths and injuries on the roadways is everybody’s business.

All funds will go to supporting all road safety activities and education awareness programmes. Tickets cost $1,000 and are available at the Red Cross building, GNRSC Coordinator Ramona Doorgen said.
