The Mayor and City Council (M&CC) is moving to regularise auto-body, spray painting and scrap iron operations in the city in the coming weeks, Town Clerk Royston King announced on Monday.
Speaking during a consultative session with stakeholders at City Hall, King said the move to regularise such businesses is in keeping with the M&CC’s plan to restore order to the municipality.
“The vision we have for Georgetown is that when you look into every sector and when you look into every segment of our economy, you must see order… Under the law, we have the statutory responsibility to regulate any and all business operating in the city, so we will register all these businesses,” he said, while also listing mechanical workshops as being among the operations that will be targeted.
