00:00 Thousands of Burgesses lined High Street Separi on Friday morning to view the military parade
00:16 as the Separia Borough Corporation commemorates its first anniversary of attaining borough
00:23 status.
00:24 This has brought life into Separia, today's military parade.
00:28 This is something people have been yearning for, to see something happening with a difference
00:32 in Separia.
00:33 It's about bringing out our communities, partnering with community to community and
00:38 in this way we can build a friendship in our region.
00:43 Families and schools crowded the borough centre, cheering on and enjoying the procession.
00:49 Mayor Meru says the celebrations began with an interfaith service on Thursday and ends
00:56 with a big event at the end of the month.
01:01 We have a jube, we have a steal on one night, we have a retro party, we have a breakfast
01:06 party, we have a big set on the 29th.
01:10 As the borough's first mayor, he says he plans to do everything he can to bring people and
01:16 communities closer and encourage togetherness.
01:20 We want those criminals to put down their guns, look at what was happening in Separia,
01:26 look at positivity, let us make our country a safer and better country so that people
01:31 can live in harmony and live out of fear because people are locked in their homes, they are
01:36 afraid of what is happening with the criminals in society today and taking away that, Trinidad
01:41 will be a beautiful place in this world.
01:44 He says during his first year as mayor, there was a lot of planning taking place and in
01:51 this, his second year, he aims to make good on his promises to upgrade and/or improve
01:57 the Irwin Park facility, the market and cremation site.
02:02 As for borough celebrations moving forward, Mayor Meru says after this year's calendar
02:08 of events is tried and tested, citizens can look forward to bigger and grander celebrations
02:15 next year.
