Works and Transport Minister Rohan Sinanan yesterday promised to bring relief to long-suffering residents Toco/Sangre Grande and Cumuto Manzanilla when he gave instructions that certain roads in those constituencies were to be immediately repaired.
The road at Calabash Hill also known as the Bocas on the Manzanilla Road, as well as the North Oropouche and Guaico Tamana roads will be given priority for immediate repairs, Sinanan announced yesterday.
Accompanied by members of the media, Sinanan and his technical officers—including Hayden Phillip, Director PURE, Paras Ramlogan, Chief Technical Officer, Narvin Ramsingh Engineer—visited Railway Road and Railway Extension, Eastern Main Road, Damarie Hill in the constituency of Toco/Sangre Grande.
In the constituency of Cumuto/Manzanilla, Sinanan was joined by MP for the area Christine Newallo, who took the Minister of Works and Transport and his technical team to the following roads:Bonair Road, Cumuto, St Marie Emmanuel Road, Caratal, Guaico Tamana Road and Manzanilla Road.
Sinanan promised to send his technical staff back to look at other roads in the constituencies which were listed to be visited, but because of time constrains and the busy schedule of the minister the tour had to be cut short.
He said when the technical officers visit, they will submit a report after which priorities for road rehabilitation will be established.
