    GM&CC Partners with Vendors to Clean Stabroek Market

    Published on

    Georgetown, Guyana – The Georgetown Mayor and City Council (GM&CC) has joined forces with vendors to undertake a major cleaning initiative at the historic Stabroek Market. The collaborative effort, which began over the weekend, aims to restore cleanliness and improve the overall environment of one of the city’s busiest commercial hubs.

    The cleanup campaign involves removing accumulated waste, clearing clogged drains, and sanitizing the market’s interior and surrounding areas. Vendors have actively participated in the process, working alongside GM&CC staff to ensure the market is more hygienic and welcoming for shoppers.

    Mayor Ubraj Narine expressed gratitude to the vendors for their cooperation and emphasized that maintaining cleanliness at Stabroek Market is a shared responsibility. “This initiative is not just about cleaning; it’s about fostering a sense of pride in our city,” Narine stated. He also highlighted that regular maintenance would be key to sustaining the improvements made during this campaign.

    The market has long been plagued by issues such as poor waste management and flooding due to blocked drains. These challenges have not only affected vendors but also deterred customers from visiting the area. The cleanup effort is expected to address these concerns while promoting better public health practices.

    Vendors welcomed the initiative, noting that a cleaner environment would attract more customers and improve their businesses. Many expressed hope that this partnership would lead to long-term solutions for waste disposal and drainage issues at the market.

    Stabroek Market, a landmark in Georgetown known for its iconic clock tower, serves as a vital economic hub for hundreds of vendors and thousands of shoppers daily. The GM&CC’s collaboration with vendors marks a significant step toward preserving its legacy while ensuring it remains functional and appealing to all stakeholders.

    The council has pledged to continue working with vendors and other partners on similar initiatives across Georgetown, reinforcing its commitment to creating a cleaner and healthier city for residents and visitors alike.
