WORKS have commenced on internal concrete roads in Den Amstel, West Coast Demerara (WCD).

According to a post on President, Dr. Irfaan Ali’s official Facebook page, the works valued at $86 million, are being executed by residents of the community.

Minister within the Ministry of Public Works Deodat Indar, during a telephone interview, told Guyana Chronicle that the works are expected to be completed in two months.

In November last, President Ali had visited the community to engage residents and ascertain the issues affecting them.

During that visit, Minister Indar had said that some $86 million would be allocated for the construction of concrete roads along the southern section of Den Amstel.

The residents, in 2022, were also updated on the government’s agenda which includes plans to improve the infrastructure in Den Amstel.

President Ali, following concerns highlighted by residents, noted that a $10 million contract had been awarded for the rehabilitation of the community ground.

“We’ll be doing back the ground, the pavilion, and put in a basketball court. Some work will be done on the bridge,” President Ali said.

President Ali, as part of his “One Guyana” vision, continues to visit communities across Guyana, meeting with residents and addressing their concerns.
