New Mayor takes charge of Chaguanas

In just one week after being installed as Mayor of Chaguanas, Suruj Rambachan was on the streets with workers from the Borough Corporation cleaning up his town.

Yesterday Mayor Rambachan was on the Chaguanas Main Road with the workers as they removed larger than life posters advertising fetes and events. He told Newsday he was on a “Clean Up Drive”. “I want the sight of the borough to be a pleasant one. People must want to walk through the streets of Chaguanas,’ he said. According to Gopaul Doodan from the Chaguanas Borough Corporation, “We intend to work with two schools in the area, Presentation College and Chaguanas Senior Comprehensive, so their art students can utilise the spaces on the walls. “The wall on the popular ‘Busy Corner’ will be adorned with murals done by these students.” Mayor Rambachan was also very concerned about the safety and health of the people of Chaguanas as he expressed shock and horror at the condition of several food stalls he saw on the side of the road. He intends to work with the Public Health Inspectors to bring these vendors in line.
