No longer business as usual for city violators – Green warns

Mayor Hamilton Green yesterday announced that there would be zero tolerance for violations of the city’s by-laws

“It will not be business as usual for persons who feel that they can mistreat Georgetown like they did for the past 23 years because we no longer have a ministry and a government that will tolerate the suffocation and the denigration of the capital,” Green told a news conference yesterday, shortly after he concluded a tour around the city.

Some of the areas which he visited included Subryan-ville, Campbellville, Kitty, South Ruimveldt and West Ruimveldt.

The Mayor said it was found that citizens from all sections of society are involved in the blatant disrespect of the city by their actions. “They just feel that they can just do as they care,” he added.

Among other things, it was found that citizens have extended their boundaries to occupy alleyways and reserves.
