Dear Editor,
Residents of Subryanville have been waiting since September 2025 for the Government to restore Farnum Playground fully to the community. Farnum Playground was designated for recreation and rest and as a community green space, but has been partially occupied by a private business.
Residents have engaged with the Central Housing and Planning Authority, the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development, the Mayor and City Council, the Ministry of Education and more recently the Ministry of Public Service, Government Efficiency and Implementation .
We note that the CH&PA are enforcing the law in parts of Georgetown and more recently in Herstelling, but for some reason the Government seems silent on their inability to follow the law and procedures at Farnum Playground.
We call again on the Government of Guyana, through its various agencies to explain the path to ensure that Farnum Playground is restored fully to the community.
We urge citizens to be vigilant and protect their community green spaces.
Yours sincerely
