Region Nine council members yesterday decided that travel to and from Lethem for work or health related purposes amid COVID-19 restrictions must be approved by the Mayor or town council before travel.
After a meeting between the Region Nine council and Cindy’s Bus Service yesterday afternoon, it was decided that persons wanting to exit or enter the town will have to contact the town council or mayor and provide a “valid” reason for requesting a pass to travel. An employee of the Cindy’s Bus Service located in Lethem, told this newspaper that “we have finalised that we don’t want persons just entering and leaving Lethem without valid reason,” thus the council has decided that persons who want to leave Lethem or enter from Georgetown, Annai, and other locations, must contact the town council or town mayor, John Macedo to obtain a pass to be allowed to travel.
