The government has announced plans to deploy heavy-duty equipment to thoroughly clean the area surrounding the Barrymore Hotel.

The hotel has become a temporary refuge for several residents from Pointe and Villa who were displaced due to the ongoing Booby Alley Project.

During a recent visit to the site, local representative Browne highlighted the deteriorating conditions, describing the area as a “pigsty.”

He pointed out that one particular tenant has been identified as a major contributor to the unsanitary situation.

    I think the Prime Minister did good with sending in the heavy machines to clean up around the Barrymore Hotel. It’s a nice move because it helps the people living there and the locals too. Plus, looks like they care about folks who had to leave because of the Booby Alley Project. Another government would leave them in their dirty filth. I surely would.
