Dear Editor,
Residents of the new Herstelling Scheme completed in 2011 and handed over early 2012 are upset about the deplorable state of the roads.
All the roads in here are loam- sand and mud, more loam than anything else. When it rains, it is sheer slush, you just don’t know where to walk. The entrance coming in and going out at the 4th bridge is filled with potholes and slush from the loam.
The Re-migrant and Providence schemes have better roads, not loam, and no one is living there as yet. The price for the Providence house and land is the same as for Herstelling.
Some persons get house lots and leave it for grass and young cane growing high. This is a breeding place for mosquitoes.
The Ministry of Housing should see to it that persons given house lots come in and weed it.
Bad roads, no street lights, no disposable truck to take garbage away and plenty mosquitoes.
Can the Ministry of Housing help us in here please?
Yours faithfully,
J. Braithwaite
