Farmer rearing, slaughtering pigs in Le Repentir cemetery

The Mayor and City Council is to  clamp down on a farmer who is accused of rearing and slaughtering pigs inside of Le Repentir Cemetery.

Mayor Patricia Chase-Green’s attention was drawn to the issue for a second time yesterday by Councillor Monica Thomas who called on the council to take action since residents’ health is at risk.

After much deliberations Chase-Green yesterday instructed Town Clerk Royston King to serve a seven- days’ notice to the farmer informing of his breach and the measures that would be taken if he failed to comply.
