Prime Minister Gaston Browne has called on citizens and property owners to take greater responsibility for maintaining clean and orderly public spaces, as part of the government\u2019s plans to enhance community environments in 2025.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In his New Year\u2019s address, Browne criticized indiscriminate littering and unauthorized vending, urging citizens to adhere to existing laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo one has the right to litter or to vend in public spaces without permission,\u201d he said, adding that persistent violations would result in stricter enforcement of regulations.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Prime Minister also announced plans to address the issue of derelict properties and vacant lots in residential areas. Legal measures will be implemented to demolish neglected structures and clean up lots, with property owners bearing the cost of these actions.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur government will institute a policy of land swaps and purchases for these lots to reduce health and security risks to residents,\u201d Browne explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Browne appealed to property owners to cooperate with the government in making communities cleaner and more attractive, emphasizing the shared responsibility for maintaining public spaces.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe plead with our people to cease indiscriminate littering and unauthorized vending,\u201d he stated, highlighting the importance of collective efforts in improving the nation\u2019s appearance and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Prime Minister\u2019s remarks form part of a broader vision for sustainable development and community well-being, reflecting the government\u2019s commitment to creating a more harmonious living environment for all citizens.<\/p>
