Deputy Mayor of Georgetown,  Lionel Jaikarran has said that he would be recommending to Town Clerk Royston King that  city workers complete the demolition of the Astor Cinema and have the cost of the works attached to the rates for the property.

Jaikarran said that he has received complaints from persons of the unsafe environment and has since informed the City Engineer Colvern Venture of the concerns expressed to him by members of the public.

“I received a phone call from a neighbouring business and I’ve since called City Engineer Venture who said he will visit the site,” he said, adding that it is unclear if the engineer had visited.
