The Mayor and City Council of the city of Georgetown has intensified inspection of all Eating Houses, Restaurants and Provision shops operating within the city of Georgetown. This move comes as part of its statutory obligation under the Municipal and District Councils Act, Chapter 28:01.
The Council has observed that there is an increasing number of Eating Houses and food establishments mushrooming particularly in the central business district and it is not clear where consumptions are prepared and under what condition.
This has influenced Council’s administration to take note and to intensify its operations to ensure that the health of citizens is not compromised.
Early next week the Council will be moving to raise awareness about the importance about meat and food hygiene with those food vendors, who do business in different sections of the city. Those who meet the requirements will be properly certified and their means will be published so that citizens will be guided when purchasing foods and beverages.
Those who fail to meet the standards will be encouraged to improve their arrangements so that they can be certifed by the Council and assist in its effort to observe the integrity of the public health of Georgetown.
