CHINESE business owners were, on Friday last, sensitised on the importance of a clean environment, and were called upon by Georgetown Mayor Hamilton Green to join in the City’s efforts to return Georgetown to its former glory.

This follows a meeting held some time ago with other members of the business community, who also were informed about the importance of a clean community and were called upon to keep their immediate environs clean, and were encouraged to join in the City’s clean-up efforts.

Speaking with the Chinese business persons in his Office at City Hall, Mayor Green urged them to practise regular and proper garbage disposal as a necessity to keep Georgetown clean.

“Regardless of who threw the waste in the area, it is your responsibility to ensure that around your areas are kept clean,” he told them.

The Mayor also signalled that Georgetown should be a society where citizens would respect and obey the laws of the country and, in turn, contribute towards development of the Garden City.

Asked to comment, the Chinese requested that more garbage bins be placed in Robb Street areas to accommodate their proper disposal of refuse.
