Cunupia Residents Get Relief As Welcome Road Upgrades Completed

It was a welcome sight for residents of Welcome Road in Cunupia on Wednesday as rehabilitation works on a 500-metre stretch of roadway were officially completed.

The project was the result of a collaborative effort involving Minister of Rural Development and Local Government Khadijah Ameen, Caroni East MP Dr Rishad Seecheran, and Chairman of the Couva/Tabaquite/Talparo Regional Corporation Ryan Rampersad, all of whom lobbied for the long-awaited upgrade.

“The portions we were able to complete really has reduced the amount of time people would take to get out of this community to get to school and to work and so on, but the taxis, of course, they are very happy.”
