In dire need of new sources of revenue, the Linden Town Council will reopen the Kara Kara bridge toll booth on August 1 once the by-laws to give the process legality are finalised.
On June 17th, the council approved the by-laws, which are now in the objection phase for 14 days during which the public can share their views or make objections to them. After this, Minister of Communities Ronald Bulkan would then approve the by-laws and they have to then be published in the Official Gazette to be brought into legal force.
“It took us only two months to get the by-laws, we’ve worked day and night, we’ve spent countless hours working hard to get this done, and the process is now there to move this township forward and to have more income coming into town,” Linden Mayor Carwyn Holland told Stabroek News.
