Dear Editor,

For the better part of two years the main road leading to the Charity Wharf or to be more precise the last one hundred and fifty meters has become a one way road and this decision was made primarily to accommodate vendors on both sides of the road and quite recently the mini bus and car park that was constructed has been given to the vendors to ply their trade so as to facilitate infrastructure work at the extreme end of the road.

The above actions and decisions are understandable, although for some, it is not welcomed by some operators of these buses and hire cars and also some commuters who have to walk some distance to meet the water front with luggage sometimes.

They are two diversions one on each side of the public road that would also lead drivers to the extreme end of the public road where persons living and travelling to the Pomeroon River and also to Region One would embark and disembark.

But these very important roads which I do believe comes under the direct control of the Charity Usara Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) has been totally neglected and are allowed to become close to impassable due to the deplorable state it is currently in, when we look at the amount of vehicular traffic and persons living in that area that have to use these roads daily.

It is beyond the comprehension of any reasonable thinking person, why this (NDC) singularly or collectively with the Regional Administration cannot have these roads fixed. The Regional Administration and the NDC in question have so much to gain and not thing to lose by having these roads fixed.

It would be remiss of me not to say that on Monday August 19, 2019, I visited this NDC Office and was shown a quantity of crusher run that was purchased sometime back for the repairs of these roads mentioned, but the person I spoke with was not sure why the work was not yet started. A job is not done until it is finished.

Regards
Archie W. Cordis
