No parking between Harbour Bridge and Stadium for Cricket Carnival

There will be no parking along the East Bank Demerara Public Road between the Demerara Harbour Bridge, Peter’s Hall and the National Stadium, Providence during the upcoming Cricket Carnival billed for September 18 to October 02.

This forms part of the traffic plan by the Traffic Department of the Guyana Police Force for the major event here. Importantly, persons living between the Harbour Bridge and Stadium will not be affected.

Already, tickets for most of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) matches in Guyana have been sold out and it is anticipated that there will be major traffic congestion on the days of the matches.

But Traffic Chief Superintendent Dennis Stephens has assured the public that the Traffic Department is ready to ensure there is a free flow of traffic.

“For the Cricket Carnival, of course, it is a mega event and the Traffic Department is prepared to handle those situations on the days of the events,” the Traffic Chief said during a ‘Police and You’ programme this week.

So major sporting events being held at this stadium is going to cause parking problems in the immediate vicinity now and in the future. Begs the question as to why adequate parking facilities were not incorporated in the designing of the stadium in the first place to accommodate vehicles?. Or are people trying to park on the verges for a fast getaway at the end of an event?
