KINGSTON - The Force Account Department (FAD) of the Ministry of Public Works has renovated ‘Donkey City’, situated in the vicinity of the Stelling at the Stabroek Market Square, so as to rid that area of its unsightly appearance and facilitate public hygiene.
Lawrence Mentis, the Force Account Engineer for this project, said that the vicinity was riddled with potholes, and was the section worst affected by rainfall in the surrounding area. And although City Hall had provided adequate receptacles for garbage disposal, the area was awash with garbage. Thus, the FAD took the decision to tidy the entire area and “level” the potholes.
Upon visiting the site yesterday, this newspaper was made to understand that the overhaul began in the late hours yesterday - June 11, 2014 and was expected to conclude the said evening.
The police have temporarily relocated the routes 31 and 32 bus parks so as to accommodate overhaul and upgrade of the area.
The FAD aims to overhaul and upgrade other needy areas around the country in the coming weeks. (Guyana Chronicle)
