KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC) conducted a major clean-up operation on Heywood Street on Sunday clearing drains and removing debris from the roadway, a move that has been welcomed by vendors in the area.
According to Mayor of Kingston Andrew Swaby, this latest clean up activity is part of the Cleaner Kingston initiative to rid downtown Kingston of garbage.
“Under the Cleaner Kingston initiative, we would have given a month notice to the vendors on Haywood Street that we are coming in to clean. What we have done, washed down there, we have taken away the junk, carted away the junk along the roadside and in the Queens Market. We have cleared the drains because it was clogged up because sanitation is very important to the KSAMC and the vendors’ and patrons’ health are also important,” Swaby said.
