Edghill unable to say if Nandy Park residents consulted on new bridge

Juan Edghill

Public Works Minister Juan Edghill cannot say whether Nandy Park residents were consulted about possible relocation in order to facilitate the new Demerara River Bridge which is expected to land in the community.

Stabroek News contacted Edghill on Wednesday and was told that consultations are held at varying levels and times while committing to having every stakeholder consulted. However, he could not provide a specific answer as to whether his Ministry or the Eccles/Ramsburg Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) held a consultation with the residents there.

“I can say as a matter of policy (with) a project this size (that) all necessary stakeholders have been and will be engaged and engagements are taking place,” Edghill related.
