More than $100M to clean up Georgetown

Sep 18, 2015 News

As Government continues with the “Clean-Up My Country” campaign, the Mayor and City Council has embarked on the cleaning and desilting of street drains, alleyways and canals.  Areas being targeted are Agricola, Mc Doom, Houston, Ruimveldt, Bourda, Lacytown, Le Repentir and South Cummingsburg.
In excess of $5 million has been allocated for the cleaning of avenues and verges in the later.
The Bourda Cemetery is being cleaned of garbage and overgrown weed, and similar works are due to begin at the Le Repentir Cemetery, which is in the process of being fenced.
According to City Hall officials, the cemetery will be weeded on a regular basis, once the weather permits.
Already the parapets and verges in Carmichael, Main and Camp Streets have been manicured and the City Council will continue similar works in other wards in the City. In the wards of Lacytown and Bourda more than $65 million has been budgeted, for similar interventions.
Works completed thus far have seen Bourda Cemetery being rehabilitated at a cost in excess of $6 million. At Agricola, Mc Doom and Houston in excess of $25 million will be spent to enhance the communities.
It is the intention of Government and other stakeholders to restore Georgetown to its previously designated state as the Garden City.
