Port Of Spain Gets Major Clean-Up After Independence Day, CPL Activities

In the wake of Monday’s Independence Day activities and the excitement of the Caribbean Premier League match at the Queen’s Park Oval, the City of Port of Spain received a much-needed clean-up from crews from the National Programme for the Upkeep of Public Spaces (NPUPS) early on Tuesday morning.

Minister of Rural Development and Local Government Khadijah Ameen said the crews focused their attention on several venues.

“We were essentially targeting in the area that had concentrated celebrations. So we’re talking about the Queen’s Park Savannah that had the Independence cultural show, the Queen’s Park Oval because they had CPL cricket and some of those major thoroughfares like the Avenue, Ariapita Avenue, the Western Main Road, Tragarete Road. And the idea was to remove all, any garbage from the road.”
