Clean up the stink city, Mr Mayor

Maybe the mayor is not paying attention to the condition of Port of Spain. Maybe he is too busy playing the piano.

There are vagrants everywhere walking among people like nobody’s business, some of them half naked with their private parts exposed, others with raw sores eating away their flesh.

And it seems like no one is concerned about the vagrancy problem.

Some streets are full of human faeces — between Duncan Street and Independence Square, on Henry Street, the bottom of Charlotte Street, Nelson Street. This is outrageous and unpleasant.

This is the capital. We have foreigners coming to our country and it is a shame to see the condition of the city. Mayors come and go and it seems not one of them knows how to handle the vagrancy problem.

Sweden has no vagrancy problem.

The mayor should do some research and see what the government there does and get some ideas. Because the vagrancy problem is getting worse. The problem can be solved. This would be good not just for Port of Spain but for the country. And we can honour Penny in some other way.
