Dear Editor,
Kaieteur News – A joint exercise to carry out a massive clean-up of the city seems like a very positive start to this new year.
However, can or will a two-day exercise include every ward of the city in a truly “massive” clean-up? Will this result in the drains and trenches being clear and free-flowing, the parapets and alleyways clear of weeds and overgrown bushes and rubbish?
Will this merely be a Public Relations exercise with lots of photo ops and glowing accolades, or will this be the beginning of a well-planned and sustained maintenance programme that will return our city to its long-lost state of cleanliness and beauty so that it can reclaim the name that it so proudly held – ‘Georgetown, the Garden City’?
Sincerely,
Joan Collins
