Residents of Mitchell Town in Clarendon joined hands on Labour Day to give a facelift to the rural community’s more than five-decades-old recreational park.
Maragh emphasised the importance of the park in facilitating community bonding, as the venue was the host for bicycle racing events that attracted many spectators and participants.
The project attracted the efforts of social groups including the Mitchell Town Jamaica Labour Party Workers Group.
We need the park and we saw that it needed some uplifting, so we wanted to help,” said Brian Morris, president of the political group.
Morris told The Gleaner that the organisation, founded a month ago, has a mandate of working with stakeholders for the development of Mitchell Town.
