In a move aimed at improving public safety and environmental health, the Cabinet has approved a series of new community clean-up measures.
The police will now step up efforts to remove derelict vehicles, giving owners just 14 days after notice before their cars are towed to designated dumpsites.
Prime Minister Gaston Browne has also directed the Ministries of Health and Urban Renewal to invest $500,000 in new garbage bins, which will be distributed across neighborhoods island-wide.
The government believes that the combined measures from strengthening police resources with trained dogs to addressing roadside hazards and neighborhood blight are part of a coordinated strategy to make Antigua and Barbuda cleaner, safer, and more resilient.
