– Mayor GreenIn the heart of Georgetown lies a ‘pristine jungle’ that is commonly referred to as an ‘eye sore’. Having a bushy wild ‘green zone’ in the centre of the capital is apparently the Administration’s plan for a modern organized city.After all, Government pulled the plug on a $45M project to develop the 16.20 acres of land into a recreational facility,NFL Jerseys From China, after investing millions of dollars.According to Hamilton Green, Mayor of Georgetown, that area should have been a showpiece of the City, if the Government had done the decent thing.

Green added that it was the vision of the previous regime, the People’s National Congress (PNC), to create public facility for Government officials and recreational purposes for the general public.It was noted that in anticipation of that, what is now the Mandela Avenue was created, housing schemes were built to the east, and the Homestretch Avenue was erected.He posited that other developments around the City including the National Cultural Centre and the Umana Yana were erected in conjunction with the developmental agenda of the then Government.Green posited that a modernization plan for Georgetown 2001 to 2010 was prepared by Professor Akbar Khan and it catered for the usage of the D’Urban park area.

He questioned who will be utilizing the toilets and suggested that it maybe the vagrants who linger in the ‘pristine jungle’.He noted that the City had stopped the construction of the toilets because permission was neither sought nor granted. However,Cheap Jerseys From China, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport continued the project.‘I have pleaded that the details contained in the Greater Georgetown Development Plan be implemented in stages.
