PLP MP Fred Mitchell claims that the degraded state of community parks and streets can contribute to criminal activity.
In a press conference held yesterday in Fox Hill’s community park, Mr Mitchell, MP for the area, said the government’s “inability” to keep communities clean is not only a health risk, but a safety issue for Bahamians.
“When the environment in a neighbourhood is not kept within acceptable limits this feeds crime and anti-social behaviour,” said Mr Mitchell.
