WE THE RESIDENTS OF THE EASTVILLE HOUSING SCHEME ARE SADDENED THAT THE EASTVILLE COOP SOCIETY FOR YEARS, HAVE FAILED IN ITS DUTIES TO PROVIDE THE RELEVANT SERVICES TO THE SCHEME. MANY PROMISES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SCHEME WERE MADE AT MEETINGS AND HAVE NEVER BEEN FULFILLED.
OUR GARBAGE, LIGHTS, ROADS, AND SECURITY HAVE BEEN LEFT UNATTENDED FOR YEARS. NOW IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE.
THE CHAIRWOMAN OF THE SCHEME, DOES NOT EVEN LIVE HERE, AS SHE AND HER COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE ALIEN TO THE NEEDS AND CONCERNS OF THE RESIDENTS.
WE FEEL THAT OUR LIVES ARE IN DANGER DAY AFTER DAY, AS MANY ARE ROBBED AND BEATEN BY BANDITS WHO TRAVERSE THE SCHEME REGULARLY. THE MANAGEMENT AND SALE OF LANDS IN THE SCHEME, HAVE BEEN DONE UNFAIRLY.
THE FINANCIAL ASPECTS OF THE SCHEME IS A TOP SECRET. THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN AN AUDIT, FINANCIAL STATEMENT OR REPORT READ OR SENT TO MEMBERS OF THE SCHEME FOR YEARS.
THE SCHEME ACCORDING TO COOP LAWS SAYS AS LONG AS ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURAL SERVICES ARE IN PLACE, (LIGHTS, ROADS, WATER, HOUSES ETC) IT MUST BE HANDED OVER TO THE NDC WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT.
BUT THE CHAIRWOMAN IS SAYING SHE WILL NOT HAND OVER THE SCHEME TO THE NDC. SHE DID NOT EVEN STATE A CASE WHY SHE WOULD NOT DO SO. THE CHAIRWOMAN WAS ALSO ADVISED BY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE NDC AT A SPECIAL MEETING IN THE PRESENCE OF THE VICE CHAIRMAN, OVERSEERS AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, AT THE NDC HEAD OFFICE IN MAY OF THIS YEAR, TO DISCUSS THE HAND OVER THE SCHEME, BUT IN A DISRESPECTFUL MANNER, THE EASTVILLE HOUSING SCHEME CHAIRWOMAN REFUSED TO DO SO.
IT IS WITH THESE ISSUES IN MIND AMONG MANY OTHERS TOO NUMEROUS TO MENTION, WE DECIDED TO LAUNCH THIS PETITION.
WE THE RESIDENTS OF THE EASTVILLE HOUSING SCHEME WOULD LIKE PETITION THE MINISTER OF COOPRATIVES, MINITER KEITH SCOTT AND THE CHAIRMAN OF THE REGIONAL DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL OF REGION 4 MRS. GENEVIEVE ALLEN, THAT THE EASTVILLE HOUSING SCHEME COOP SOCIETY AT ANNANDALE SOUTH, EAST COAST DEMERARA, BE HANDED OVER TO NEIGHBORHOOD DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL OF MON REPOS/ANNANDALE LA RECONNAISSANCE , FOR BETTER MANAGEMENT, REPRESENTATION AND PROVISION OF SERVICES.
AND THAT ALL LEGAL RIGHTS AND STATUTES BE INSTITUTED BEQUEATHING THAT OF A GOVERNMENT HOUSING SCHEME.
