A major cow-itch clean up starts tomorrow morning (Saturday) in the vicinity of the Blackman and Gollop Primary School which has had to be closed intermittently over the past few years because of the recurring problem.

Minister of the Environment and National Beautification, Trevor Prescod, announced the clean up during a tour of the area this morning.

Mr. Prescod says he hopes to have the work completed by Sunday evening and the school will get a thorough cleaning on Monday.
