TIRED of the faded street sign at Kaikan Street, North Ruimveldt, resident Lennox Barclay has reached into his pocket to make the sign readable again.

Barclay told the Guyana Chronicle that he felt compelled to fix the sign because when his mother passed away recently, many persons could not locate his house as the street sign was not readable.

Barclay, who is a rural corporal attached to the East La Penitence Police Station, said the sign at Kaikan Street was unreadable for many years. He bought some paint and other materials and refurbished the street sign and reinstalled it.

The constable also installed a new street sign at Spring View Avenue, North Ruimveldt which never had one before. The Spring View Avenue sign will help taxi drivers and others who have difficulty finding the area in North Ruimveldt.

Speaking of the good gesture, Barclay told the Guyana Chronicle that he grew up in Kaikan Street and though it was the least he could do for his community.
