Garbage On The Sidewalk Near  to FLOW

Garbage seen on road side

There a significant amount of garbage on the roadside at FLOW's head office on Halfway Tree Road in Kingston. A man who seem to be of unsound mind has made that location his place of a abode.. My on the ground reporter says that a significant amount of persons get on the bus at that location. The reporter was not impressed with the work of the JLP government in keeping the country clean. She compared Jamaica to places like Atlanta for example which is very clean.. She is calling on the media to play its part in identifying these locations where there is garbage.
