THE Mayor and City Council (M&CC) will this weekend launch a project to put communities around Georgetown to work. This will entail 50 groups of residents working to clean their own local communities.Making this announcement during an interview with the Guyana Chronicle, Town Clerk Royston King highlighted that those workers would receive financial compensation for the execution of their tasks.
“The improper disposal of waste is the major problem, therefore, we need to take responsibilities for our own communities. As such, for the next three to four weeks the groups will be working in most of the communities and neighbourhoods in Georgetown,” said King as he appealed to them to cooperate.
Being pioneered by the M&CC, the groups will be tasked with the clearing of parapets, scoping the shoulder of roads, clearing and cleaning alleyways, trimming trees, and clearing roadside drains.
This project, he emphasized, was part of a wider programme which is aimed at lifting Georgetown out of its untidy state to a place that is befitting the capital of a nation.
