Stabroek Market car park to revert to City control
The Stabroek Market car park will be under the control of the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) after more than seven years of government management.
Deputy Mayor Patricia Chase-Green said that the Ministry of Public Infrastructure has expressed willingness to return the management of the car park to the City Council. Former Minister of Public Works Robeson Benn had taken control of the park in 2008.
The Deputy Mayor said that the Ministry has also indicated its willingness to assist the City with repairs to the Stabroek Market wharf.
Chase-Green said that there is also a proposal by the Ministry for a board walk on the seawall, and when this is completed, it will be handed over to the M&CC.
To deepen democracy and advance development, the new administration has been embracing the idea that citizens’ satisfaction is best met at the community level by Local Democratic Organs (LDOs) and not central Government.
To this end, the administration has been breaking the stranglehold, domination and usurpation of Local Democratic Organs and their statutory functions, as practiced by the last administration. It has instead been promoting decentralisation of local democratic engagement, by supporting and enabling the local organs to discharge their responsibilities.
