Residents of the East Bank of Demerara are requesting that the construction of a fire station and police outpost in Nandy Park be halted until an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) is done on the implications for the residential area.
In a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which was seen by Stabroek News, residents of Republic Park Phases 1, 2 & 3, Continental Park, Nandy Park, and Republic Gardens state that while they understand the need for emergency services, they do not believe that the location is appropriate since the fire station and police outpost are being constructed across the road from the Eccles Nursery School on Eastfield Drive in Nandy Park.
