SCORES of residents came out yesterday morning to give tremendous support to staffers of the Tony Auto Spares (Le Ressouvenir, East Coast Demerara) as they conducted an extensive cleanup initiative in sections of the Georgetown ward of Alberttown.

When the team arrived at Sixth Street, Alberttown at about 10:00 hrs yesterday, residents readily welcomed the gesture and joined in the exercise without complaint.

It was quite a pleasant sight to see residents pouring into the streets, equipping themselves variously with buckets, spades, shovels, rakes and cutlasses as they transformed the area into a ‘concentrated bustle’, joining staffers from the auto spares entity in cleaning street parapets and drains in the area.

While those who orchestrated the gesture had brought two vehicles to transport the refuse to strategic dumpsites outside the area, residents with vehicles quickly began assisting in the garbage removal process.

Company Representative Troy Edmondson said the initiative was spearheaded by the auto spare parts Director, Tony Ramcharran, and some of his employees who reside in the Alberttown area.

He added that the campaign was just another venture to indicate the company’s show of public-spiritedness and its earnest drive to be of assistance in the beautifying and restoration of Georgetown.

Residents were highly appreciative of the company’s gesture, and applauded its employees for their efforts yesterday.
