Overgrown lots, a nuisance to residents. As the cry for citizens across Maypen to better care for their property increases, Mayor of Maypen and Chairman of the Clarendon Municipal Corporation, Winston Maragh is concerned about the possible health hazard they pose for the space. He adds that a series of heavy rains have only exacerbated the problem and is pointing the finger at unmanned developmental housing schemes.

But if the owners do not respond in a reasonable and timely manner, he says the municipality will be forced to take action.  He says several notices would have been sent to the homeowners in advance, as he urges guilty residents to better care for their property. The Mayor says, that for a fee which will be added to their property tax, the municipal corporation can have properties cleaned on behalf of homeowners.
