The Stabroek Market Square is the venue for the 51st Independence anniversary flag raising ceremony on May 26th, and preparations, billed at approximately $100 million, are due to begin tomorrow.
According to Town Clerk Royston King, the Mayor and City Council was contacted by the government with regard to hosting this year’s flag raising ceremony at Stabroek Square. “As a result, the council is in the process of putting in place arrangements to sanitise that entire area. This includes washing and remedial works to certain sections of the Stabroek Market front, washing and cleaning Stabroek Market, particularly under the canopy and its immediate periphery, including the drains around that facility, the removal of garbage and other rubbish from the square, resurfacing of the tarmac and washing and cleaning the entire area,” King said. The installation of lights, signs and other facilities will also be done.
