The Georgetown Mayor and City Council (M&CC) says it has restarted an aggressive campaign which aims at the removal of all derelict vehicles and other encumbrances from roadsides, sidewalks, parapets and reserves belonging to the City.
In a statement yesterday, the Council says it has observed that there has been an expansion in the amount of abandoned vehicles left on the Council’s parapets and reserves.
“Old vehicles left on public thoroughfares is an environmental and a traffic hazard. Further, it is a contravention of the Municipal & District Councils Act Chapter 28:01. Also, it provides a haven for criminal elements to hide out and pounce on unsuspecting citizens, thus compromising the public safety of neighbourhoods. The Council has commenced this operation in Kitty and will continue in Meadowbrook, South Ruimveldt, Campbellville and other areas in the City where the need arises”, the statement said.
