THE Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the Anna Regina Town council has acquired a new mini-excavator to boost the desilting of drains within the Walton Hall to Three Friends district.  Town Clerk, Ms. Diana Critchlow said that the council is preparing a workplan for the machine. She said the machine has to get a special slush bucket and a steel grill to protect the glass in front before it is put into operation.
Councillor of the IMC, Mr. Rajendra Prabhulall, said one of the main problems in the municipality is drainage and the maintenance of drains. He said the drains within the town were recently desilted by excavators under the previous Government’s Clean Up My Country project, but because of no maintenance work, all the drains were quickly taken over by grass and weeds. He said the council is aiming to have all the drains within the town in perfect and clean condition and residents will be asked to cooperate and help maintain the drains in front of their yards.
