Berbice River residents are expressing their disgust at the access path which they have to utilize to board boats when leaving New Amsterdam to head home along the river and are pleading with the Mayor and Town Council to fix it.
The only track, which leads to the wharf where the residents disembark to enter the town of New Amsterdam and board to return home, is located aback the market itself. It is accessed through the side of the market (within the market’s compound) managed by the New Amsterdam Mayor and Town Council. Yesterday, at the wharf, there were eight passenger boats and two cargo vessels which are used to transport building materials and other items to residents living within the various villages along the Berbice River. Almost everyone expressed their frustration at having to deal with the track filled with potholes.
