The Ministry of Public Infrastructure and the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) will be working together in a number of areas for 2016 and the two bodies have already begun their coordination.
Last Friday, Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson, and Minister within the Ministry, Annette Ferguson, met with several representatives of M&CC. Among these representatives were Mayor Hamilton Green and Town Clerk, Royston King.
During the meeting, Minister Patterson emphasised that it was important that the two bodies coordinate their efforts. He said that duplication, due to poor coordination, would have been noted in the past and would have resulted in the waste of much needed resources.
“I want these meetings to be on a regular basis so that we can meet and coordinate our projects,” Minister Patterson said.
He added that 2016 was particularly important, since Guyana will be celebrating its fiftieth anniversary, come May 26. He further said that with the anniversary will come a slew of activities which will be held primarily in Georgetown. Thus, the Ministers concurred that M&CC had an integral role to play and partnering with the Infrastructure Ministry would only strengthen its efforts.
In response, Mayor Green lauded the Infrastructure Ministers’ decision to host the meeting and proposed the formation of a technical team to draft plans before execution.
During the meeting, a number of topics were discussed. Amongst them were drainage; the clean-up of Georgetown; preservation of trees; building regulations; and traffic congestion.
