Govt. rolls out road shoulder upgrades across Georgetown, coastal communities

(Kaieteur News) – The Ministry of Public Works has awarded contracts for road shoulder improvements across Georgetown, with works already underway in some communities, as part of a wider programme aimed at improving roadside conditions, easing parking pressures and enhancing the use of public spaces.

The ministry made the announcement on Thursday following a social media post by Journalist Gordon Moseley. Moseley said in his post: “Development is welcomed but it must also make sense and residents ought to be consulted. Lots of residents in Queenstown are being faced with their parapets being dug up and replaced with sand and crush and run(gravel). The Works Ministry should explain its plan.”

Shortly after the ministry issued a statement explaining the programme. The Ministry, acknowledging that residents may have questions about the activities,have outlined the purpose of the works and the benefits they are intended to deliver.
