The Mayor and City Council (M&CC) is currently engaging its lawyers to find the best possible solution to moving forward with the implementation of container fees, Mayor Patricia Chase-Green said yesterday.
“I am not going to give up. We have the law on our side and we will proceed to ensure businesses pay for the streets they occupy,” she asserted.
Last Friday, City Magistrate Annette Singh told the city to withdraw a charge filed against Crown Mining after the company’s attorney Sase Gunraj argued that the charge was bad in law.
The city, under the previous council, had implemented a $25,000 fee for businesses offloading containers parked on the city’s streets.
