In light of the call from Lamaha Gardens’ residents for the relevant authorities to respect the zoning laws of their community, Town Clerk Royston King says that the area’s status as a strictly residential area has eroded over time.
The residents of the area, including Ronald Alli, had related to Stabroek News that their zoning regulations as a residential community were not being respected since persons were erecting businesses in the area and ignoring other rules.
As a result, they had applied to the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) to erect signs at the two entrances to the community stating “No businesses”. However, their request was subsequently denied by the City Council and no further dialogue was held between the two parties.
