Residents of South Ruimveldt Park, Georgetown, protested and blocked the Aubrey Barker Road last night over its deplorable condition.
Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill says he will meet to discuss the way forward this morning. About 50 residents staged a protest and called on the Ministry of Public Works to rehabilitate and maintain the road as the development of a new housing scheme at de Endragt ongoing.
The debris was set alight and this attracted the Guyana Fire Service (GFS) and the Guyana Police Force.
The Deputy Police Commander of Region 4, Michael Kingston attempted to negotiate with the residents in an effort to have them leave the road. Kingston assured that the Minister of Public Works will visit for a meeting this morning.
