Youths of Farm, East Bank Demerara were forced to create a playfield of their own after a confusing tale of events left their community ground ploughed, with a few loads of sand and a drain running through the middle.Community representatives have pleaded with three government ministers, but today the ground resembles a ploughed up rice field,Alan Page Vikings Throwback Jersey, overrun with bushes.The story started sometime last year when the community requested the upgrading of the ground,Walter Payton Bears Throwback Jersey, which was used mainly for cricket and football matches on the weekends and after school hours. The ground was used by youths of Farm and nearby communities such as Herstelling.Funding in the amount of $1 million was approved through the Ministry of Culture,Bruce Smith Bills Throwback Jersey, Youth and Sport through its community grounds enhancement programme. The funding was channeled through the Regional Democratic Council of Region Four.The selected contractor was Mr Dwarka Nauth. Incidentally,Brooks Robinson Orioles Throwback Jersey, Mr Nauth, an activist of the ruling PPP, is also the chairman of the Craig/Caledonia Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC).The contract was handed to Mr Nauth during the time of the Herstelling/Little Diamond NDC. That NDC was dissolved and replaced by an Interim Management Committee in October 2012.Kaieteur News understands that the contractor should have supplied 39 loads of sand to fill the ground.However, when this publication visited yesterday there were just a few piles of sand littering various sections of the ground.Residents said that the contractor ploughed the ground and did not complete the work.

However,Len Dawson Chiefs Throwback Jersey, he asked this newspaper to email him any questions for clarification and he would seek clearance from the Permanent Secretary and respond.
