Massive infrastructural work—including the restoration of dilapidated roads, bridges, and the clearing of clogged drains that often cause flooding after heavy rainfall—is set to roll out across Georgetown.
Public Works Minister, Bishop Juan Edghill, along with a team of engineers, visited and inspected several areas within the city on Saturday and made a firm commitment to improving the city’s infrastructure.
During the visit, residents took the opportunity to highlight their concerns—primarily poor drainage and irrigation—citing ongoing neglect by the Mayor and City Council.
Minister Edghill assured residents that the government will take the necessary steps to enhance their quality of life and protect their livelihoods.
He further pledged that swift action would be taken to correct deficiencies in all affected areas.
The names of residents from various communities were also collected to assist engineers, who are expected to return soon to conduct further inspections and draft detailed execution plans.
Among the communities set to benefit are Agricola, Container City, Rasville, Benn Kirton Drive, Rivers View, Sussex and Hill Street, Middle Road, Barbie Dam, Bamboo Drive, Meadow Brook, Kitty, Bel-Air Park, North Sophia, and Merriman’s Mall.
