Derelict vehicles being removed from city streets

If you take a look around the old capital, there is a lot that needs to be fixed. The grass needs to be cut, the buildings need to be painted, the streets need to be paved and the list goes on.  But there is another eyesore that has plagued the city and that is open lots that are used as dumping sites for garbage as well as stripped vehicles.  Philip ‘Fada’ Henry, is one city employee who has made it his mission to clean up hot spots and to remove derelict vehicles from the streets.  According to Henry, the removal operation is going full steam ahead.

“They are going into these lots that have all these high bushes and all these cans and stuff that people dump into these lots causing problems; rats and termites for other people who live in the area. We have this cleanup campaign with the tractors go out and cut the yards and scrape everything out and make sure these residents have a neighborhood cleaned for the whole society.”

“I understand you’re also working on moving derelict vehicles.”

“Yes, I am the head of the removal of derelict vehicles in the entire city of Belize and I am making sure that this entire city clean, all streets clean because you know a lot of shooting and stuff has been going on in the past months and crime has been very hard for the government to control or find somebody to contain. So what I do is go around and move these old vehicles off the streets who the little thugs they hide firearms in these vehicles. So far I have moved one hundred and thirty-six vehicles off the street. As you can see over my left shoulder I have two vehicles on the truck at this time ready to go and dump outside Belize City. Tomorrow I will resume moving forty-eight from the Kings Park Area.”
