THE Ministry of Housing and Water is exploring routes to construct an access road for the new housing development in Martyrs Ville, Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara.

Recently, Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal, visited the proposed site as part of an assessment of the area. Minister Croal stated that the new road is aimed at providing alternative access to lands for persons who were recently allotted through the ministry’s housing drive.

The new thoroughfare is also geared at reducing and/or preventing traffic congestion and reducing commute time within the Agriculture Road, Mon Repos area, once completed.
Infrastructural works are simultaneously being executed in the housing scheme to allow the new landowners to begin construction as soon as possible.

The minister noted that these are part of efforts to ensure that the provision of serviced house lots and communities with the necessary infrastructure, is designed to foster sustainable housing and aesthetically pleasing environments.

The minister was accompanied by head of the National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute, (NAREI) Jagnarine Singh and an engineer attached to the Central Housing & Planning Authority

(CH&PA).
