– Residents repeat call for help
A number of residents in southern Georgetown are accusing the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) of neglecting their surroundings, and are repeating a call for assistance.
St. Stephen’s Street, Charlestown, for instance, has been in an appalling state for over 15 years.
One resident said that the entire neighbourhood financially contributes to getting their drains and trenches cleaned. However, they cannot afford to repair the streets.
Le Repentir Cemetery is another major source of concern. Currently, the facility is overgrown with bushes and, according to many residents in adjacent areas, this has been the case for too long.
During interviews, villagers said that numerous calls and complaints have and are still being made to the M&CC to look into the situation, but they only receive promises. The residents are still anxiously waiting for a change.
“Junkies roam in the evenings,” one resident who resides in St. Stephen’s Street said. She explained that several items were stolen from her home. These included water pumps, laundry, bicycles and even children’s toys.
The cemetery is also seen as a haven for criminals and most female residents are uneasy when walking along St. Stephen’s Street during late hours due to the absence of road lights.
