With the Government of Guyana in the process of constructing the new Demerara Harbour Bridge, Minister of Housing and Water, Collin D Croal, yesterday met with several residents of Peters Hall, East Bank Demerara whose residences fall within the project alignment.
To make way for the new infrastructure, close to twenty structures will have to be relocated, a release yesterday from the ministry said.
Croal, who also engaged residents on Friday afternoon, reassured them that the necessary assistance will be provided to ensure a seamless transition.
The relocation and resettlement process is being facilitated through the Community Development Department of the Central Housing & Planning Authority which has been engaging residents for some time. Director of Community Development, Gladwin Charles and technical staff were also present at yesterday’s exercise.
