City launches volunteer corps

Members of the Georgetown Green Volunteer Corps at yesterday’s launch

The Mayor and City Council (M&CC) yesterday officially launched its Georgetown Green Volun-teer Corps (GGVC) and its first order of business is to clean the entire Regent Street.

The main objective of the Corps is to mobilise all citizens in local communities and neighbourhoods to return Georgetown to its former glory as the cleanest and greenest city in the Caribbean.

On Sunday, the volunteers will clean Regent Street of the garbage in the drains. Volunteers were asked to assemble at City Hall for 8am. In addition, a decision was made to prohibit selling within the designated area scheduled to be cleaned for the duration of the cleaning exercise.
