THE city of Port of Spain will be a cleaner capital in the coming months with the anticipated return of litter wardens, bins and trash carts.

Port of Spain Mayor Chinua Alleyne said focus is to be placed on a “Clean City” initiative in a bid to keep trash off the streets downtown and in surrounding districts.

Speaking at a news conference at City Hall yesterday, Alleyne said the Port of Spain City Corporation is seeking to use its unspent balance of $18 million to help fund the initiative, following an unsuccessful bid to access $3.8 million of its previous budgetary allocation.
