ST. JOHN'S, Antigua — A former Chief Health Inspector is sounding the alarm over deteriorating sanitation conditions in the capital, calling on residents, businesses, and government authorities to take immediate and coordinated action.
According to Antigua Observer, Lionel Michael made the appeal during an appearance on Observer AM, where he outlined three critical areas he said must be urgently addressed to reverse the city's decline in basic sanitation standards.
Michael, who previously served as Chief Health Inspector, warned that St. John's is currently falling short of the standards required to maintain a clean and healthy urban environment. His call to action targets multiple stakeholders, reflecting the breadth of the problem he described.
The former inspector's remarks underscore growing concerns about the state of public health infrastructure in the capital, as authorities face pressure to respond to what he characterised as a worsening crisis requiring coordinated effort at every level of society.
