While the residents of Rosa Drive and Buttercup Place in South Ruimveldt Park insist that they are not against development, they are now forced to negotiate the now deplorable Aubrey Barker Road as contractors’ dump trucks traverse the roadway recklessly en route to the De Endragt Housing Scheme development aback Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara.
As such, on Monday, fed-up residents placed debris across the Aubrey Barker Road to prevent the heavy-duty trucks from damaging the road any further. Their action was triggered by an incident that occurred on Monday afternoon when a heavy-duty truck that was transporting material for the contractors working to develop the scheme, almost toppled while trying to traverse a sinking part of the road. The driver, in an attempt to motor along that part of the road almost collided with a pregnant woman and residents were alarmed.
