The Chairman of the Triumph Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) yesterday instructed workers employed on a private site, reportedly intended to build a first-floor pool, to cease operations, just two days after residents called on authorities to halt its construction.
Members of the community related to Stabroek News on Sunday that they anticipate that the placing of piles during the building’s construction will affect the concrete structures of the surrounding houses as well as the coastal sea defence system.
It was reported yesterday that the men began working in the morning, during which heavy vibrations were felt through the neighbourhood. One resident related that he feared the windows would crack, with the shaking that occurred.
