Residents of Naamless and St. Lawrence on the East Bank of Essequibo have expressed disgust at the deplorable state of the access road within the stretch of the two villages, where vehicles being stuck are now a common sight.
The residents complained that they have been neglected by elected officials at both the regional and national level. They claimed that works to make the road fit for use are only done during the dry season, whilst explaining that the West Demerara/Essequibo Islands Regional Democratic Council (RDC) would only grade the road and nothing is being done to the foundation.
