Georgetown City Hall, Guyana
Georgetown City Hall is a nineteenth-century Gothic Revival building located on the corner of Regent Street and Avenue of the Republic in Georgetown, Guyana. The building was designed by architect Reverend Ignatius Scoles in 1887, and was completed in June 1889. The building houses the offices of the Mayor, the City Council, and the City Engineer.

???????? Georgetown City Council | Guyana 2018
Words by Guyanese GORDON MOSELEY
Ever so often we complain in this dear land that young people are not given the opportunity in politics...I have always said they should make themselves available to serve and take the opportunity.
Yesterday (November 30, 2018) it was pleasing to see young people from the three main parties being sworn in to serve on the Georgetown City Council.
The new Mayor is 28-years-old and there is even a 19-year-old Councillor.
From my count, at least 11 of the 30 councillors on the Council are below the age of 40. So our youths have been showing up to more than just the parking lot events.
It is a step in the right direction and I would encourage other young people not to shy away from politics.
Get involved, raise your voices and ensure you are heard. It is okay to express your thoughts and concerns from behind the screens and keyboards, but there is need for action too, action to see and ensure the development and changes that you want.
So to the youths on the Georgetown City Council, best wishes and thank you for choosing to serve.

NATIONAL COLORS ADORN BUILDINGS THROUGHOUT GEORGETOWN
Decorations on buildings throughout the city have already started to go up since before Republic Day. The most notable of the buildings, the Bank of Guyana, its five story front decked with a large illuminated Guyanese flag, stands out for all to see. In addition, residents may have noticed this morning that Government buildings are adorned with a patriotic flair all throughout Georgetown. The mass decoration of the buildings transpired over the weekend.
The Ministry of Tourism look quite festive with flags, colorful curtains, and even banners with hand painted scenes of Guyana lining the fence of the compound. Georgetown’s City Hall has also joined the gala festivities. Its grounds are also brightly decorated in commemoration of the Golden Jubilee.
Thus far, the most highly decorated campus has to be that of the Guyana Revenue Authority. The Golden Arrowhead proudly hangs from the roof of the building and runs nearly the whole height of the building. Additionally, the fence is decorated with curtains that form the number 50. But the beautification does not end there. The section of Camp Street directly facing the building is also painted in the colors of the Guyanese flag.
The patriotic decorations are not limited to government buildings. The Demerara Mutual Life Insurance Company, Caribbean Airlines and many others have proudly adorned their buildings with the national colors.
The national pride could even be felt outside of Georgetown. Not to be outdone, The Demerara Harbor Bridge Corporation also started flying Guyanese flags and national colors can be seen all along the span of the 1.1 mile long bridge.
GEORGETOWN INTERNATIONAL HERITAGE CONFERENCE OPENS
The conference has been organized by the National Trust in partnership with World Monuments Fund. It was this very organization which included the historic 1889 Georgetown City Hall on their 2014 World Monuments watch. This was the first time a site in Guyana was included on the watch, an initiative which was designed to aid in the restorative efforts of the historic building. Addressing those gathered, the CEO of the National trust of Guyana, Ms. Nirvana Persaud, stressed that preservation was a job for all.
She went on to note the proud achievements of the National Trust over the years. Programme Director of the World Monuments Fund, Ms. Norma Barbacci, in her brief remarks offered the following piece of advice.
Minister of Education Rupert Roopnarine spoke of the government’s plan to have culture integrated into the education system.
Minister Roopnarine also noted that there was little which could prevent Guyana from preserving its rich heritage. Prime Minister, Moses Nagamootoo, who declared the event open, welcomed the initiative and pledged governmental support.
The Real Atlantis - Is Georgetown, Guyana a Sinking City?
Guyana is often referred to as the land of many waters but by the end of this video you're bound to agree that things have progressed a little too far in that direction. We're at risk of becoming the land of only waters because every time it rains larger and larger swathes of Georgetown being flooded.
Where rainclouds once represented respite from the Equatorial heat, they now symbolize misery for thousands in Greater Georgetown but we didn't get here overnight. What you see is what more than a decade of neglect looks like. Both the Ministry of Public Works and the Mayor and City Council have failed Guyana and the result is crumbling infrastructure everywhere you look. At a generous count, over 60% of the culverts surveyed in the Triveldt Area, which are supposed to link drains to each other, were broken. 90% of the drains were clogged with silt and weeds. One of the main drains which needs clearing is occupied by squatters and nothing has been done to remove what have become established settlements, over the past 15years to the detriment of thousands.
Lack of political will, poor planning, execution and vision are often cited for the government's underwhelming performance and this is evident here. A length of drain was cleared by prisoners and a bit more by the ministry of public works over the last month at the height of the rainy season. Not only has their excavator destroyed the road shoulders around the city but if the work done represented 2% of what needs to be done to bring relief to the suffering then it's a lot.
Flooding to the government may only represent a slight inconvenience faced by their meek subjects, they live in dry multi-level castles paid for with siphoned taxpayer dollars, kickbacks and drug money. For the man on the street this water represents the risk of infection and death, not knowing where those enormous potholes in the road are because the water level is so high, having to fix your car more often than your bank account would like, getting home from work in a bus and having to take your shoes off, a contaminated potable water supply, a breeding ground for mosquitoes, Dengue, Typhoid and Malaria, Leptospirosis and more.
Neglect has consequences but with the modern PR machine you can make anything look good; there's a video up on Vimeo about the IDB funded Georgetown Sanitation Improvement Project with a feel good bit about the government's good work distributing free tablets to the populace to ward off the Filaria parasite which is thriving in Guyana. If the drains aren't cleaned then we'll have even more mosquitoes to deal with and currently most people in the Gold mines who come down with malaria are sent to town to recuperate. With the amount of stagnant water in the capitol we're ripe for an epidemic then we'll need more anti-malarial drugs and we already know who's getting the contract for all that medicine...another friend of the government. So in a sense, what is Real Guyana complaining about? If you're prepared to look at this in as sick and twisted a way as you can...mass flooding, misery and disease in the population could actually help pay for the Caribbean Premiere League because that's the man we'll be buying the medicine from. Most of you should know where we're coming from by now.
So what makes this terrifying? Well if they can't even maintain the drainage and address the severe flooding which occurs from predictable weather events then how in the world are we preparing for the inevitable rise in sea level brought on by climate change. We've already begun to feel those effects with recent record breaking high tides. There's more to come and judging from the way things look now it's only going to get worse.
If you allow your tongue to be held and your voice be silenced, no change will come.
If you fail to stand up and speak up for your rights, no change will come.
If you don't refuse to accept the Garden City being turned into the Garbage City through sheer force of neglect... not a 'ting gon' change.
On a final note, there is strength in numbers though much has been done to convince us this isn't true. If you live on one of these flooded streets organize with other community members to exert whatever influence you can to right the wrong you have to walk and drive through with increasing frequency when it rains.
Get to know your constitution like the latest Machel Montano tune, if we don't know our rights we don't always realize when they're being trampled until it's too late. Tek Half, Flood Half. - Real Wetlands
