KAIETEUR NEWS, APRIL 28 ---

Dear Editor,
Please permit me a space in your newspaper to highlight a few things that are happening in Corriveton, Berbice.
1. There is a stinking chicken pen owned by a businessman who sells the birds at a depot. It stinks across the road to the neighbours.
It was reported to the IMC Chairman and Town Clerk, but all they keep telling you is that it will be looked into. There is a neighbour who has a sick son, and the smell is making him more sick, but help is not being rendered.
2. The illegal wash bays. They open at 07:00hrs and close till about 22:00hrs. This is a total nuisance to the residents. This is a matter that is before the court. One of the wash bays  is owned by a man who is the previous Treasurer of the IMC’s son. The wash bay is about three feet from a woman’s house, and it caused her daughter to develop a hearing impediment.
3. Another wash bay is located near the technical school in Kingston, Corriveton. This is also a nuisance. A man has an eight month old baby and an eight year old daughter. They also can’t get to rest. Kingston is supposed to be a residential area.

We are law abiding citizens and we must be able to live peacefully. I think they should jail these people. Authorities should do something.
