Police to clamp down on Orange Walk lawlessness

THE lawlessness along Orange Walk and its environs will soon come to an end with respect to the traffic congestion, and the many other activities which can be determined a breach of the law.This was disclosed by Officer-in-Charge of the Police ‘A’ Division, Sub Division 1, Superintendent of Police Robert Tyndall, who was addressing members of the business community within his division at the Brickdam Police Station on Wednesday afternoon.
The business community had gathered there on the invitation of ‘A’ Division Commander, Clifton Hicken, who along with his high command interacted with them on the way forward regarding the new security posture in the main commercial areas of Georgetown.
When the issue of traffic congestion, robberies, abuse and other unacceptable practices were raised by a resident of Charlotte Street, the Sub-Division Officer made it clear that the police will be acting on the information immediately, since it had not been brought to his attention before.

CENTRE OF PROBLEM

The senior police officer remarked that the enterprises at the centre of the problem may soon have to be renamed ‘Sour Point,’ rather than ‘Sweet Point,’ as the police intend to deal with certain activities in the Orange Walk area that affect residents.
Residents often find difficulty driving onto their own driveways or parking at their gap and when concerns are raised they are often met with abuse.
One man complained about the widespread habit of patrons urinating in public or causing damage to vehicles, noting that these problems make residents feel as if they have nowhere to turn.
Meanwhile, the identical concerns raised about the Orange Walk area are being echoed by many others living along Station Street where Seeta’s Bar, another drinking spot, is located.
