THE Ministry of Rural Development and Local Government (RDLG) has launched a national clean-up and rainy season preparedness campaign that will span across Trinidad and Tobago, #WeCleanTT.
A release on Tuesday stated the campaign’s first stop will be in the Diego Martin Regional Corporation from April 23 to 24.
Residents are asked to send photos and pin locations of old appliances, derelict cars, tree cuttings and other debris in their community, via WhatsApp only to 707-9122 / 707- 9130.
The ministry stated the campaign was geared towards cleaning and assessing the conditions of the country’s roadways, embankments, slopes, vacant lots, overgrown lots, parks, recreational grounds, markets and abattoirs along with the removal of derelict vehicles.
“As part of the campaign, a surveying exercise will commence data-driven action on road repairs and maintenance. It also encompasses the introduction of the rainy season and the relevant measures being implemented to curb implications associated with the rains,” the release stated.
