St. John’s is set to see a greener future with plans to transform derelict and vacant lots into beautiful green spaces.
Rawdon Turner, Minister of Social and Urban Transformation, outlined the initiative during his interview with ABS, which is part of a broader urban transformation agenda addressing street vending and waste management.
These unused plots, often overgrown with weeds or discarded materials, will be cleaned, levelled, and turned into public spaces with plants, flowers, and benches for the public to enjoy.
The project aims to create more attractive spaces for residents and visitors, improving the overall aesthetics of the city.
“This is about bringing life back to the city and making it a place where people feel comfortable,” Turner said during the ABS interview, emphasising that the changes would focus on unused public spaces and not private property.
