Work has started on Agriculture Road in Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara, but residents are convinced that the contractor is not doing a proper job and the road will quickly deteriorate after it is finished.
In a letter to Stabroek News, Gideon Cecil had said that while he was delighted to see work started on the road a week ago, it was not being done properly and the contractor was “very sloppy.”
Cecil said he noticed that the road was only graded up to the National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (NAREI) and the contractor was throwing crushed brick or loam into big potholes, which was not the way to repair the road.
