Sand truck drivers who ply their trade at Ruimveldt and along Mandela Avenue will soon be temporarily located to Providence after companies in the area complained of the sand affecting their businesses.
During a brief engagement with the drivers yesterday at Providence, East Bank Demerara, Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill, and Minister within the Ministry of Public Works, Deodat Indar, informed the drivers of the complaints made by the businesses. Subsequently, an agreement was reached between the drivers and the ministers to have them relocate to the empty parking lot at the entrance of Red Road at Providence.
