Following yesterday’s downpours, Stabroek News visited several wards of Georgetown and observed varying levels of flooding and blocked drains compounded by garbage accumulation.
On Church Street, minor flooding was observed, but garbage was strewn around utility posts and other areas. The zone around the National Library was similarly affected, with garbage piled up against an electricity pole. Main Street experienced only minimal flooding. Beneath and on either side of the New Garden and Church streets’ bridge, was clogged with bottles and boxes, emitting a foul odour. On North Road, the entrance to Bourda Market was flooded, as garbage lined the road’s shoulders.
