MANDEVILLE, Manchester — Unlike previous years, Labour Day activities in this south-central town were scaled down yesterday, in keeping with the Government's restrictions on public gatherings amid the COVID-19 crisis.
Head of the Manchester police, Superintendent Gary Francis led a team of cops in repainting the Mandeville Police Station, which was selected as the project for the parish.
“Basically, we are doing something at home, and the Manchester Municipal Corporation is assisting in us concentrating on the police station [and] security as a part of the Labour Day project.
The police superintendent was quick to point out that the team would be finished in time to enforce yesterday's 3:00 pm curfew.
Also yesterday, volunteers and workers employed to Southern Parks and Markets (SPM) collected approximately 200 bags of solid waste along the Winston Jones Highway, on the outskirts of Mandeville.
