‘GREENING’ OF BARTICA ON-TRACK

As the Bartica Town Council continues to make positive strides towards the development of the town, Acting Mayor and Deputy, Nageswari Lochandprashad, said the enhancement of the area which spans from Fifth to the Seventh Avenues, alongside the town’s boulevard, is one of the transformations that forms part of the Bartica Golden Beach Development Project.

The Acting Mayor told the Department of Public Information (DPI), that with the initiative, the location, “has been developed into a beautiful area with the use of the natural environment. (There will also be) painting of the trees and installation of benches among other conveniences to beautify the area, including the removal of waste.”

This is in keeping with the moves towards embracing the ‘green’ agenda and becoming the first ‘green’ town in the country.

Lochandprashad said this accomplishment was realised through the co-operation and involvement of the residents and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) who donated the benches. This is one of several other initiatives planned for the town’s development.

Meanwhile, the Acting Mayor thanked several of the constituents within the town council for their delivery on projects.

She explained that through observation, most of the projects undertaken by the constituencies were not assigned but done on the constituent’s initiative.

During the recent Bartica Easter Regatta, President David Granger officially unveiled the plaque that marked the opening of the Golden Beach Development Project, with the highlight being the boulevard. When completed, the project will see five mini marts, a beautiful walkway that will be powered by PV (Photovoltaic) panels.
