Rose Hall IMC sanitation workers get assistance
ROSE HALL TOWN, CORENTYNE – Sanitation workers of the Rose Hall Interim Management Committee received protective gear last week, compliments of Food for the Poor Guyana Limited.
A quantity of weather boots, gloves, educational packages and grocery items were handed over to them. The presentation was done through the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club.
Food for the Poor representative Stanley Alexander praised the efforts of the 24 workers attached to this department.
Town Clerk of the Rose Hall Interim Management Committee, Selwyn Johnson, explained that under the list of duties these employees must clean the drains, weed and clear parapets, and assist in the collection of garbage.
Prior to the donation, the individuals were forced to face unpleasant conditions without the necessary protective gear. This is the first assistance of its kind for this department.
Johnson said that, to an extent, these are the persons who made it possible for the township to have no significant reports of flooding.
He called on rate and tax payers to honour their obligations, since this is the only way development can move at a faster pace. The deadline for payment for the second quarter is next Monday, June 30.
Should payments be made on or before the date mentioned, then an accrued eight-point five percent interest rate would not be asked of residents.
Meanwhile, the Rose Hall Town Interim Management Committee is now in the process of regularizing the green grocery section of the market. This, according to the Town Clerk, is to accommodate roadside vendors of this kind.
The Rose Hall Town Interim Management Committee has been faced with the problem of persons vending their ware on the parapets, and is trying to stamp out this practice one step at a time.
