Dear Editor

THE state of the main access road into the village of Victoria, East Coast Demerara has been in a deplorable state for the longest while.

For several years now this road has not benefitted from any major upgrade, save and except the occasional patchwork, which would only last for a few months. With the increase in vehicular traffic and a vibrant taxi service business, the road is in constant use. Many Victorians can hardly use their vehicles to go into the village because of the numerous potholes and those who risk driving through, have had to visit the bodywork shop soon after.

We are appealing to the government, the NDC and the RDC of Region Four to look into this matter.  It is also a shock that a village that voted solidly for the coalition government cannot get something as basic as a road fixed. This village is the home to the Junior Minister of Health, a sitting High Court Judge and other well placed government functionaries, yet no one seems to care about this situation.  We are calling on the Honourable Minister of Public Infrastructure, David Patterson to do something about this road since the NDC and RDC are indifferent about it.
