Often without purposefully growing them to provide maximum shade and space for other public activities,\u201d Mr Laurence said.<\/p>\n<p>He said the next phase will now see Ceps\u2019 volunteers joining with Plaisance residents to relandscape the area so that it can be ready for the Christmas fair in December.<\/p>\n<p>The district administrator, Marie-Anne Florentine, who along with her team also participated in the activity, has welcomed the initiative and was already mobilising citizens for this special engagement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/seychelles\">Seychelles<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Seychelles.
