Residents of Second Dam, Garden of Eden, East Bank Demerara yesterday staged a protest in front of the Craig-Caledonia Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) office following several complaints about the deplorable state of the main road and absence of street lamps despite promises.

Second Dam is located opposite the Guyana Power & Light Garden of Eden station and connects to the East Bank Demerara Public Road. It is the main access road for farmers/commuters who go about their business including transporting of produce to clients on a daily basis.  Stabroek News spoke to residents and then visited Second Dam and witnessed firsthand the deplorable condition of the road which was filled with pot holes. There are GPL poles on either side of the road minus street lamps.
