3,000 house lots for East Coast corridor this year
house lots were distributed on Tuesday at a “Dream Realised” housing allocation event.
Some 5,900 house lots were previously distributed from 2020 to 2023.
This is in keeping with the government’s manifesto promise of delivering 50,000 house lots across the country during its 2020 to 2025 term in office.
Minister within the Ministry of Housing and Water, Susan Rodrigues
Rodrigues explained that the government hopes to develop the East Coast corridor to mirror the development that has taken on the East Bank Demerara corridor.
To facilitate that development, new highways and road links are being constructed alongside new housing schemes. A new roadway is expected to be established to connect Good Hope to the Aubrey Barker roadway in Georgetown, which eventually leads to the East Bank Demerara corridor.
“All of the schemes on the East Coast are leading in the direction of the East Bank,” Rodrigues said.
With the new roadways and schemes developed on the East Coast corridor, Rodrigues expects the value of people’s land to increase exorbitantly.

Aimed at promoting highlighting challenges, Autism Awareness month launched in Reg. 5
The Ministry of Education on Tuesday launched Autism Awareness Month at the Bath Settlement Primary School, West Coast Berbice.
This year, Autism Awareness Month is being observed under the theme “Transforming the Narrative: Contributions at Home, Work, in the Arts, and Policymaking.”
Senior Education Officer (SEN), Nikoya Alleyne, in brief remarks stated that the goal is to raise awareness of the challenges that persons with autism experience in society and for people to accept persons with autism.
She noted the Ministry of Education, under the leadership of Priya Manickchand, is working to provide equitable educational opportunities for persons living with disabilities.
She further extended gratitude to the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) for their continued support. Allen disclosed that this year, in addition to distributing sensory kits to learners throughout Guyana who are living with autism, GPL will be offering an internship to a person living with autism.
Education Officer (SEN) and Psychologist at the Regional Special Education Needs/Disability and Diagnostic Centre, Deborah London said that the assessment and diagnostic process of individuals is important so they can get the support needed.
Meanwhile, Regional Education Officer Region Five, Keane Adams highlighted that the decision to host the launch for the month of activities sends a signal that services are not centralized.
At the launch, GPL was presented with a certificate for its continued support.
Additionally, officers from the Regional Special Education Needs/Disability and Diagnostic Centre were present to provide services such as occupational and speech therapy. The children also participated in games and face painting. (Modified press release from Ministry of Education)

Death at Day Care: Manslaughter charge recommended for owner
returned to the Police with advice that there is sufficient evidence to charge the owner, Denise Benn with the crime.
The advice came about a week after the DPP returned the file to the Police, asking that they conduct further investigation.
A joint investigation was launched into the incident which claimed the life of seven-month-old Oriya Gravesande on March 21 at the Little Learners Day Care.
The infant died hours after she was dropped off at the Day Care by her mother.
An autopsy later determined that haemorrhaging, suffocation and compression to the neck were the causes of death.
During the investigation, the owner of the Day Care was taken into Police custody but was later released on cash bail.
The News Room understands that the baby girl was found unresponsive and taken to a health centre where medical professionals attempted to resuscitate her.
The healthcare workers there subsequently called an ambulance from the Georgetown Public Hospital but it seemed too late.
The child was pronounced dead at the city’s main hospital minutes after she was brought in.
