One Guyana must not only be a slogan but also a reality for all Guyanese, Minister Edghill stated and added that, the safe space will also be an alcohol-free zone.

“It is not going to be a drink spot where people are going to come put down their big boom and sell beers and liquor and have big fetes. This is family-oriented development. Kids must be able to come out with their tricycles, the disabled must be able to come with their wheelchairs and get some fresh air, they must be able to park and get in here.”
