The Belize City Council, through the dedicated efforts of our Public Health Unit, continues its robust citywide derelict vehicle removal campaign, targeting 115 abandoned vehicles across public streets. This initiative is part of our broader mission to enhance urban safety, beautify neighborhoods, and restore shared public spaces.

In just under a month, 48 derelict vehicles have already been successfully removed from key areas, including:  

📍 North Front Street, Pelican Extension, West Canal, Amara Avenue, Far West Street Faber’s Road Extension/Area, Signa Yorke Street, Holy Emmanuel Street, Set Site, Jennifer Smith Street, M&Y Street, McKay Boulevard, Electric Avenue, Periwinkle Street, Croton Lane Extension, Scarborough Street, Tibruce Street, Estella Metzgen Street, Aloe Vera Street, Kathleen Frazer Street, Partridge Street Extension, Broaster Avenue, Hibiscus Street, Whistling Duck Street and Madam Liz Avenue.

These long-abandoned vehicles are more than just eyesores. 🚫🚗 They pose serious health and safety risks by obstructing visibility, attracting pests and garbage, and collecting stagnant water. These conditions create ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes that spread illnesses such as malaria and dengue.🦟🧼

Once removed, these areas are cleaned and maintained, transforming them into safe, sanitary, and community-friendly spaces.🌿💧

While some residents have moved derelict vehicles onto private property, this is not a long-term solution. Unmanaged vehicles continue to present risks, and we strongly encourage proper disposal to fully eliminate potential hazards.
