CONTINUING in their efforts to further develop communities in and around Georgetown, the Government of Guyana through the Ministry of Public Works has targeted Middle Road, to execute repairs to the road which was in a deplorable state. 

Middle Road, which is located in La Penitence, has long been described by residents as a “get-away” for thieves, since the poor road condition aids easy escape once petty crimes have been committed.
In this light residents have often made calls for the road to be repaired so as to reduce the number of crimes committed in the area.
Sunday last saw the commencement of work on the western half where holes were filled with bricks and loam. In addition, works continued in the area as the eastern half, just around Hunter Street, saw the use of bitumen to seal holes which had been created by heavy-duty vehicles.
