Mayor of Georgetown, Alfred Mentore, in his New Year’s message reminded the City’s municipality of the past year’s challenges but expressed optimism for new opportunities to resolve some of the city’s age-old problems including road congestion, vending, and indiscriminate parking.
For Mentore, 2023’s major highlight was the democratic process which brought a new team of mayor, deputy mayor and councillors along with fresh perspectives and ideas into the governance structure of the capital city. But Mentore acknowledged that in 2023 the council faced numerous challenges: from infrastructure issues to economic setbacks. Nonetheless, his council members and staff worked tirelessly to address these issues and find sustainable solutions.
