With McDougal Street, Kitty left in ruin in the wake of works done by the Courtney Benn Contracting Services Limited (CBCSL) in the area, there is no word on whether rehabilitation of the roadway will be done or who would be responsible for it.

Stabroek News first became aware of the condition of the road in September, after residents complained about damage to the road done by the contracting service, which was hired to construct a concrete drain between McDougal and Middleton Streets, Kitty.

After a delay in the start of the works, residents stated that they were shocked to find that the contracting service had “ruined” McDougal Street. “An excavator was brought in to dig up the drain, but I didn’t have to be an engineer to tell that the thing was way too heavy,” said one resident.
