Bus sheds recently constructed at Belle West, Canal Number Two, West Bank Demerara, have come in for scrutiny from residents who say they seem unlikely to provide the necessary shelter from the elements and have also questioned the cost to build them.

One bus shed is situated almost in the middle of Phase One of the scheme at Masjid Street, while the second is located at the junction of Phases One and Two, Belle West.

At the time this newspaper visited, the weather was scorching hot as persons stood along the road awaiting transportation, but no one sought shade at the bus shed. In fact, the shed situated near the mosque in the village is not along the Belle West Road where vehicles traverse, but instead is in Masjid Street.

Construction work has resumed on two bus sheds that were recently erected at Belle West, West Bank Demerara and became the subject of public criticism.

Stabroek News again contacted Chairman of the Canal Number Two Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) Yogieraj Das about the sheds and he said he had planned on talking with his principals to find out what to divulge to the public and what he could not but he has since had a change of mind.

“At this point I won’t comment on the matter because it has been attracting that attentionâ€Ķ,” Das had said.
