Dear Editor,
Land preparations for housing as well as the construction of bypass roads behind DDL and north of the established Diamond Housing Scheme are in progress. For months now huge sand trucks in sporadic convoys deliver sand to this site every day and sometimes at nights. They use the Diamond Scheme roads, particularly Third Avenue and the northernmost perimeter road for this activity. To date this ongoing exercise has caused severe damage to the named roads. Huge craters, cracks, depressions and shoulder breakages are now pervasive along the route. The trucks are now seeking out the new connecting roads to avoid the ones they have damaged and find difficult to navigate. As a long-standing member of the community in the Diamond area, I would like to humbly suggest that the trucks be made to use the road between Toolsie Persaud New Building and the DDL compound where there are no residential homes. Editor, I would be most grateful if you publish my letter so that the relevant agencies can take note and action for an alternate solution to this problem.
Sincerely,
Randolph Giddings
