Residents Clean Up Mayflower/Ghost-Town Neighborhood

 

For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ The Ghost Town and Mayflower area usually makes the news – and most of the time, it is not for positive stories. But the crime-ridden neighborhood was getting a good clean out today – of garbage. Over the years, loads of garbage has accumulated right in the center of where residents live. The stench and the unsightly and unhealthy pile of waste has been growing over the years and today City Council went in deep digging to get the garbage out. They tried to do it by hand, but the task was impossible and so they got a machine to do the work. This work in the area is part of a larger clean up in the city that started a few weeks back. We spoke to Councilor Willoughby, who led the garbage removal mission, as well as well-known face of the Ghost Town Kendis Flowers about this morning’s exercise.
