This vehicle is not the property of the Georgetown City Council
DEAR EDITOR,
Please refer to an article captioned “Man dies, woman injured after car slams into parked lorry” which appeared in the Tuesday, February 5, 2019, edition of your newspapers. The content of the article suggested that the derelict vehicle GFF 9764, parked on Princes Street, Werk-en-Rust is the property of the Mayor and Councillors of the City Council. The Council wants to make it pellucid that this vehicle is not the property of the Georgetown City Council.
Time and again, the Council continues to warn citizens of the dangers of leaving derelict vehicles on the parapets, reserves, and other public thoroughfares. Citizens would recall, that in 2016, 2017 and 2018, the Council carried out campaigns in several City wards including; Alberttown, Kitty, Lodge, Wortmanville, Bel Air and Campbellville, which aimed at removing obstructions from the public pathway.
Also, the Council through the City Engineers Department served notices on several owners of roadside mechanics and spray-painting shops who have extended their businesses onto the roadside. However, while some citizens applauded the efforts of the Council to remove obstructions, there were those who severely criticized the work of the Georgetown Municipality and opined that the actions of the Council were too harsh.
The owner of the vehicle GFF 9764 was given notices verbally and in writing to remove the derelict vehicle.
Yours Faithfully,
Debra Lewis
Public Relations Officer
