The owner of Eden’s Sweet and Sour Hot Spot and sponsor for the Maracas Lookout, Bobby Singh, is requesting the requisite approval to build a toilet facility for customers and patrons of the site.
“The only thing I need right now is approval because we do everything by the book,” Singh told Guardian Media during a visit on Good Friday.
He said he applied for permission under the People’s Partnership administration.
“I did it over ten years ago and I got the approval but then the government changed, so then I kind of have to redo it. But they’ve been very cooperative and everything. The Government has been very nice to us,” he said.
Singh said he was willing to undertake the cost of the entire project, which would benefit, not only his customers, but also tourists who stop off at the spot.
“We’re not really going to charge any high (fee). We’d charge like a tiny, very nominal fee just to pay for like the water we’d have to purchase and then for the little toiletries. But we’re not really going to charge for it,” he said.
Guardian Media reached out to Minister of Works and Transport, Rohan Sinanan, on Friday but a response was not received.
