New effort being made to save Kumaka Waterfront

This dragline has malfunctioned several times for long periods during revetment works at the waterfront.

A team of officials from the Public Works Ministry is assessing the Kumaka Waterfront area as additional works to save the North West business hub may be in the pipeline.

The area had been  sinking into the nearby Aruka River over the past three years and Region One Chairman Paul Pierre told Stabroek News last week that the team of officials was in the region last week assessing the area to determine what action could be taken to save the waterfront area from the nearby river.

He said that  the Public Works Ministry does have a plan to redesign the area and according to him while residents have  not been told recently that they  may have to relocate from the area,
