Garbage truck obstacle

FALMOUTH, Trelawny — A derelict garbage truck is standing in the way of plans by the Trelawny Municipal Corporation (TMC) to establish temporary headquarters, prompting Falmouth Mayor C Junior Gager to give the vehicle’s owner an ultimatum to remove it or face having it towed.

Gager, who is also chairman of the TMC, told Thursday’s regular monthly meeting of the corporation that the truck is occupying the spot earmarked for two newly acquired containers, which are to be converted into offices and a meeting room.

He said repeated attempts to locate the owner have failed, despite the corporation obtaining contact information for a person believed to be associated with the vehicle.
