Ahead of a hearing this week on a challenge to the decision by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) against requiring an environmental study for the new Demerara Harbour Bridge, environmentalist Simone Mangal-Joly has reported that the regulatory body has failed to provide critical information needed to make a decision on the project.
In a letter dated March 26, 2022 to Executive Director of the EPA Khemraj Parsram, Mangal-Joly said that the information provided was grossly inadequate since it was just a copy of the Ministry of Public Work’s application for construction of the bridge. She said that after reviewing the document, she realised that it does not provide the basic information on the project.
