He noted that on Friday (April 19) a Government team will engage residents once again – this time at the community’s behest.According to Ramotar, during a meeting recently held in the community,holesale NFL Jerseys, residents had expressed interest in the wireless internet service the telecommunication tower will offer, but were not pleased with the location identified.Government is erecting 55 towers in Regions Two,Nike Roshe Run Men, Three, Four,NFL Jerseys China, Five, Six,Wholesale Jerseys 2017, Nine and 10 to roll out its Information, Communication and Technology programme. The erection of the towers began in Region Four and has attracted objections from residents in Plaisance and Triumph/ Beterverwagting.Plaisance residents were the first to reject the project because Government wants to erect the tower on their Community Centre ground. Many concerns and assumptions of residents about the telecommunication tower were as a result of no consultations and sensitisation. Government has now begun to consult with various communities along the East Coast Demerara.According to the Project Manager, placing the tower in Industry will increase the cost of the project – a development that was not anticipated. He said that the E-governance Unit will now have to run the fibre optic cable from Industry to the Sparendaam Police Station and that cost could have been avoided,China Jerseys, because the Police Station is in close proximity to the Plaisance Community Centre.In addition, rental will have to be paid to the Guyana Power and Light Inc. for running the cable along its poles.Ramotar stressed that having the tower in Industry would not fully satisfy its purpose because the signal will not be strong in Plaisance. He pointed out that the community of Industry will be serviced by the telecommunication tower erected in the University of Guyana’s compound. |
