The Mayor and Councillors of the city of Georgetown yesterday said that it has given notice of removal to those individuals who operate horse-drawn carts around the Nurses Association building on Alexander Street, Bourda.
A statement from the city yesterday said that the carts present an ugly picture of the capital and compromise the public health of the neighbourhood.
“The dung and urine from the horses, which is not cleaned up by those, who drive them create a stench and a suitable breathing place for flies and other disease carrying pests”, the statement said.
