Municipal abattoir repairs may be done by month end

Ongoing repair works on the Georgetown Municipal Abattoir may be completed by the end of the month.

In late February of last year, a crane belonging to John Fernandes Limited damaged sections of the abattoir, located at Water Street.  At a statutory City Council meeting yesterday, City Engineer Colvern Venture said that based on reports received, the repairs will hopefully be completed before the end of the month.

Repairs to the building began months after the boom of the crane collapsed onto the abattoir, resulting in damage to the roof, walls and windows of the kitchen area.
