Dear Editor,
I AM writing to congratulate the Mayor and City Council of Georgetown for the wonderful job they have done by getting the city streets cleared. I am home on vacation and I am amazed to see how tidy Georgetown has become. They should continue until all the streets are cleared. Previously, when I came home to Guyana, I was scared to take my family for shopping especially around Water and Regent Streets and the Stabroek Market. Longden Street is another sore. Streets are made to be passages to walk. One place I would like to see cleared is the vendors’ arcade which is a street. Why would one sacrifice a street and put people to sell at the expense of citizens. People who are the majority are denied their right to use the street by few greedy people. Nobody wants to go to the land and produce; some of them I know personally too are my relatives. They and their wives have five stalls all over employing people to sell in them. Mr. Royston King be strong, do what you have to do. I will report back to my friends in New York so they will be here to be part of the jubilee celebrations.
Regards
G. Wilson
