Port-of-Spain May­or Chin­ua Al­leyne has had enough of the garbage clog­ging the cap­i­tal’s drains and yes­ter­day, he put cit­i­zens on no­tice: clean up or pay up.

Speak­ing to Guardian Me­dia along­side en­gi­neers and drainage of­fi­cials at the Ari­api­ta Av­enue flood­gates, Al­leyne said care­less lit­ter­ing was di­rect­ly fu­elling the floods that have hit down­town streets and homes in re­cent weeks.
