WORD reaching Chronicle Sport last evening was that the Bayroc Community Centre ground has been chosen as the venue to house the 400m synthetic track. Government has allotted some $210M to a number of regions including Linden, Region Ten.
Last night Member of Parliament for Region 10 (Upper Demerara) Jermaine Figueira said that following a second consultation done in a meet-the-people setting it was observed that some 95 percent were in favour of that venue as opposed to the other – the Mackenzie Sports Club.
Figueira further said during the recent Linden Mashramani activities more views were sought and they were overwhelmingly in favour of the Bayroc site.
The MP said another independent survey by residents was done and there again the majority of persons interviewed on the National Communications Network (NCN), Linden, gave the nod to the Bayroc Community Centre. With this Figueira said the decision is that the synthetic track will be given to that venue on the west bank of Linden. (Joe Chapman).
