Mayor Regrello, ex-mayor Hosein tour High Street

“We are having a national clean-up and are starting to plan, using the model from the San Fernando City Corporation which we had last year September and I am taking a note to Cabinet this Thursday and from there we will make the announcements where we get volunteers from the 14 corporations to be involved,” Minister Hosein said. “That is like contractors who have heavy equipment that just park up because the work slow and they willing to come out and assist.” Asked whether a date had been selected, he said: “Most likely after the second week in January.” Mayor Regrello said joint police/army patrols have been earmarked for the southern city although there had not been any reports of major criminal activity in the southern city.

“We have no evidence or information that there is increased crime in the area, I am heartened by that, I am encouraged by that, also I spoke to (National Security Minister) Mr (Edmund) Dillon a couple days ago and there would be increased joint police/ army patrols,” Regrello said.
