After more than a decade of being sidelined,Ales Hemsky Jersey, residents of a Nandy Park street, East Bank Demerara,Pierre Pilote Jersey, have some newly paved streets,Sean Monahan Team North America Jersey, thanks to some recent works done in the area.Before and after the rehabilitation.Lindley Avenue was one of streets to be rehabilitated. It is home to a number of business persons, ex-judges and even former Chief Justice Ian Chang.It is also home to Publisher of Kaieteur News, Glenn Lall.Lall said that he was mystified when about a decade ago several streets were fixed in Nandy Park. However, Lindley Avenue and a side street next to Lall were left out.“I had sought to raise the matter with the NDC (Neighbourhood Democratic Council) and others.”Lall found out from the late Public Works engineer,Jason Spezza Jersey, Walter Willis, that he had received instructions to leave Lindley Avenue out from the works.According to the Publisher,Trevor Daley Jersey, the instructions, Willis had said,Travis Moen Jersey, had come directly from former President Bharrat Jagdeo.“One of my neighbours stopped talking to me because of the roads. My neighbours even asked me to move out from Nandy Park because of the state of the road,” Lall explained yesterday. “It is but evidence of how Jagdeo ran this country, targeting citizens using his high office.”Lall said that last year,Zach Parise Jersey, when the Coalition Government took office,Shayne Corson Jersey, he appealed for Lindley Avenue to be fixed.“I even spoke with Minister David Patterson (of Public Infrastructure) on the state of roads near me.”The Publisher said that he was promised that the matter would be addressed.A few weeks ago,Scott Hartnell Jersey, a contractor, R and B Investments, started works in the area. The street is now fully paved with works done on the shoulders and drains. The roads have been marked and barriers erected to prevent heavy trucks from driving through. |
