THE Mayor and City Council continues to collaborate with community groups in the clean-up my community initiative. Several groups have responded to the call to restore Georgetown to it former healthy state. Community Groups and organisations are involved in cleaning streets, drains, alleyways, and removing garbage from thoroughfares, parapets and other open spaces.Over the past three weeks, works were done in several communities. The Lions Clubs in Georgetown, and the Guyana School of Agriculture have cleaned the seawall area. Other communities in which cleaning was done are: Newtown Kitty, Laing Avenue, Lodge, Tucville, Festival City, East Ruimveldt, Stevedore Housing Scheme, West Ruimveldt, Agricola and West La Penitence, South Ruimveldt Park, South Ruimveldt Garden and North Ruimveldt .

Organisations that have participated in cleaning their immediate environment included: Gizmos and Gadget, Courts Guyana Inc., and Scotia Bank. Stall holders of Stabroek and Bourda markets cleaned their stalls and general market facilities.

The Mayor and Councillors wish to thank all those, who are involved including Scotia Bank, Mohamed General Store, Hamid General Store, Emporium General Store, Guyana and Trinidad Life Insurance Company, and Food for the Poor for providing tools and equipment to help in this exercise.

The Council is encouraging all community groups and individuals to check with the Council before embarking on clean-up exercises so that proper logistical arrangements can be put in place, to clear all areas of rubbish and garbage.
