Dear Editor,
Enclosed are pictures of some derelict vehicles that have been parked on the parapet on Victoria Avenue, La Flora Gardens, Eccles, East Bank Demerara. I have been a resident for more than six years and these vehicles were there long before that.
The Community Development Group wrote to and spoke with these residents on numerous occasions requesting the removal of these vehicles but these requests have been totally ignored.
The Group also wrote to the Eccles/Ramsburg NDC and the former Minister of Housing, Sheik Baksh, to no avail.
I also spoke about a year ago with the former Minister of Tourism who lives in the neghbourhood about this matter and he asked me “why you want to remove the trucks?”
There are at least three government ministers, a Member of Parliament and television personalities that live in this neighbourhood but no one seems interested in having these eyesores removed.
With World Cup Cricket just around the corner and much talk about cleaning up and beautifying our country, maybe it is a good time for the relevant authorities look into this matter.
Yours faithfully,
(name and address provided)
