THE Anna Regina Town Council is actively desilting community drains across the township under the leadership of Mayor Devin Mohan.

This initiative fulfills a promise made to the residents of Bush Lot, Richmond and Danielstown.

During community meetings hosted by Madanlall Ramraj, Director General of the Ministry of Agriculture who has responsibilities for Region Two, residents had requested that overgrown bushes and clogged drains in their neighbourhoods be cleared.

Thanks to Ramraj’s intervention, more than 2,000 rods of drains have been desilted this far.

Residents of Walton Hall had requested the clearing of several drains, which was completed.

The entire drainage network in the area is set to be desilted, reducing the risk of future flooding.

Meanwhile, Mayor Devin Mohan noted that the council has responded to residents’ concerns and is continuing efforts to transform the township.

The Anna Regina Town Council (ARTC) remains committed to addressing the needs of its residents, said Mayor Mohan.

The focus is on improving drainage and preventing flooding in the municipality.

Currently, desilting efforts are underway in Danielstown, where residents have expressed their gratitude for the council’s proactive approach.

Residents of Richmond Village also expressed their appreciation after an excavator was sent to clear a clogged drain next to the Richmond Sports Ground.

This crucial action will enhance the facility’s usage and protect it from potential flooding.

Committee members praised the mayor for his swift intervention and support of the community’s recreational space.

“We are very thankful because we’ve wanted this for a long time. After a meeting, we requested it, and we are glad it was done in a timely manner. This ground is perhaps one of the best in the region,” a resident said.
