MP Lyndon Lewis of the NOW party has raised concerns about the impending end of the Government’s District Cleaning contracts on March 31, 2026. He notes that no new public tender has been announced, creating uncertainty for district cleaning services across the country.
Recent communications revealed that contractors were informed their agreements would not be extended. Lewis questions the logic of this decision, highlighting potential public health risks if cleaning services cease, including garbage accumulation and pest infestations.
He criticized the lack of foresight and strategic planning by the Ministry of VROMI and calls for an urgent plan to ensure service continuity, stressing that the government must manage essential services responsibly.
