Starting Monday, the Community Policing Unit of the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force (RSLPF) and the Saint Lucia Solid Waste Management Authority (SLSWMA) will launch an islandwide campaign to remove derelict vehicles.

An RSLPF advisory noted an increasing number of derelict vehicles along the roadways, obstructing pedestrian and vehicle traffic and potentially adversely affecting the environment.

The advisory stated that by the Waste Management Act, authorised officers would engage the vehicle owners to facilitate timely disposal.

It warned that failure to remove a derelict vehicle could result in a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars.

The police have requested anyone who wants additional information to contact the SLSWMA at 4532208 or the RSLPF Community Policing Unit at 4563718.
