With a sense of great pride and gratitude, the Mayor of Corriverton Town Council, Imran Amin, says enhancement projects and developmental works are happening in all eight township constituencies due to this administration’s commitment to the people. In an interview with the Pepperpot Magazine, Mayor Amin disclosed the expansive works being undertaken in the municipality towards the betterment of the lives of the people.

He disclosed that the #76 Village Housing Scheme will soon benefit from a new concrete access bridge and construction is currently underway. Amin stated that new road projects are also in the making, and soon, all the major roads in the township will be upgraded. He reported that the #77 Village access bridge was also completed about two months ago. The mayor disclosed that contracts have since been awarded for nine new roads to be completed within Corriverton and the project will commence in a week’s time. He pointed out that 80 major roads from #75 Village to #82 Village have seen its fair share of development in infrastructural works, upgraded roads and installation of street lights.

He reported that the recreational park commissioned by First Lady Arya Ali, is a hit at #79 Village, Corriverton, and it has become a safe place, a ‘green space’ for all to gather. He stated that the Mayor and City Council of Corriverton does regular garbage collection at the #79 Recreation Park, which is outfitted with adequate seating area.
In addition, for safety, they have on-staff park rangers on a three-shift system. They were drawn from the part-time workers from the Community Policing Group (CPG), Upper Corentyne.

His reality of a 24-hour drive-through market is in the works. A proposal is yet to be approved by the government in which a new tarmac will be constructed. “It is one of my visions for this township to be realised and I hope it can materialise,” Amin said.

Amin told the Pepperpot Magzine that garbage collection within the township is ongoing and they have a makeshift landfill site at Line Path Village.

He said the Mayor and City Council of Corriverton have been successful in upgrading the x-ray/ultrasound room at the Skeldon Hospital; the room was fully sealed and the storage area for drugs, as well.

Amin added that the National Library at Corriverton Civic Centre which is located next door to Town Hall, received a much-needed facelift on Tuesday.

He pointed out that the project was made possible through the contribution of the Mayor and City Council, American Loyalty Imports and F & I Customs Brokerage joint partnership.

Corriverton was upgraded to township status on September 7, 1970, under the Municipal District Act 28:01 and it was divided into eight wards. It is a border town and its population is just about 30,000.

Amin’s area of responsibility is from #75 Village to #82 Village, Corriverton and it encompasses a large area from #75 to Crabwood Creek.
