TOUTING and unprofessional behaviour of policemen were some of the issues raised when ‘G’ Division cops and members of the Region Two Regional Democratic Council (RDC) met with hire car drivers at Supenaam on Tuesday.

The drivers are utilising the speed boat stelling which is currently under construction by the Ministry of Public Infrastructure.

In addressing the drivers at the Good Hope/Pomona Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC), Regional Chairman, Devanand Ramdatt, called on them to co-operate with the police.

He said that with the new state-of-the-art facility, drivers must implement a system to avoid touting and confusion. Some of the issues raised were touting at the stelling, parking of private vehicles among hire cars, unprofessional behaviour of some policemen and hire cars drivers not adhering to established rules.

Many of the drivers are soliciting passengers from the boat and most of them are passing the boundary line with their vehicles, the meeting heard.

They were advised to wait until the passengers disembark the boats and make their way around the gas station area. The issues that were raised were documented and will be forwarded for appropriate action to be taken.

Also present at the meeting were Regional Vice-Chairperson, Nandranie Coonjah; Vice-Chairman of the Good Hope NDC, Arnold Adams; Assistant Superintend, Graham Thomas; and Inspector Troy Griffith.
