The City Mayor of Ganta, Mr. Samuel Hardt, has embarked on the Cleaning of the city of Ganta to give it a facelift to help ease hygienic problems and also attract investors.

He told the Daily Observer that with the little resources or revenue the city is collecting; they are going to use it to improve the city, ensuring the streets remain very clean and tidy.

Recently, the city authority purchased a brand new tricycle to boost the lifting of garbage from the streets.

"We hired dump trucks to take the garbage out and we also purchased a tricycle to also get the dirt from where the trucks cannot easily reach," he said.

"We have also hired over 30 young men and women to get involved with the cleaning of the city and making sure that nobody drops a piece of paper on the street," he said.

The new city ordinance is said to be changing the face of Ganta, leaving the streets extremely clean, where everybody seems to be in compliance.

On the main street of Ganta, people seem to be watching each other, ensuring that nobody breaks the rule by dropping dirt on the street.

But, if someone mistakenly drops anything, someone will quickly remind you to pick it up or be ready to pay the fine of L$500 to the city authority.

Recently, businessman Prince Howard donated several giant-sized garbage bins to the city authority. The bins were planted in every street corner to ensure that garbage was deposited properly.

However, the city authority had begun issuing tickets for parking cars on the streets for the minimum fee of L$50 per hour.

"We are lobbying with partners or any well-wishers to come to our aid with the necessary equipment to enhance our work," said Mayor Hardt.

"We need our dump truck, a set of caterpillars to clean the garbage for removal," he said. "If we are fortunate to get our equipment, we are anticipating opening the rest of the alleys, we will ensure that our inspectors reach every part of Ganta so as to get rid of makeshift latrines or structures."
