NDC flayed, Benn lauded

Amidst mud, residents of the East Coast Demerara (ECD) villages affected by the spring tides continued to clean up yesterday but in some areas were stymied by the lack of water and they bitterly criticized the NDC in the area for not clearing drains.

Montrose, North Vryheid’s Lu2st and Better Hope were severely affected on Friday morning. The tides left water as high as two feet, flooding homes in a matter of minutes and many residents complained of the damage wrought.

Yesterday, for residents of North Vryheid’s Lust and North Better Hope there was a water problem again but this time it was a lack of it.
