CABINET NOTES: In response to the Cabinet’s announcement a week ago to commence the renewal of commercial St. John’s by addressing the unoccupied/derelict buildings that pose a health, security and nuisance effect on surrounding properties and businesses.
One building owner has stepped forward to enquire about the cost of removal; others have come forward to make payments of taxes owed.
The Cabinet is of the view that it must begin to move quickly to raze those derelict properties that have been identified by the Inland Revenue Department, in order for the City of St. John’s to be transformed into a place of interest, cleanliness and easy to get around.
The end of the blocked sidewalks, the enforcement of the law regarding hours for putting out rubbish, and the daily cleaning of the streets and sidewalks have already shown how the city is moving towards sustainable levels.
The Cabinet has applauded the ministers who are responsible for immediate improvement, which has become very evident to all.
