The spring tide has caused a resident living near the Boerasirie Creek, Region Three to be affected by flooding after the water gushed out from a section that was not fixed when sea defence work was carried out.
Construction foreman from the Sea Defence Department of the Ministry of Public Works (MoPW), Lalta Persaud told Stabroek News that the excavator was working there sometime ago but another resident prevented the operator from completing the job because of his “fruit trees” and they left.
