Mayor Patrick De Greve, who is leading the effort, clarified that the crackdown is not primarily aimed at individual riders. Instead, the administration is focusing on covered wagons that travel through the town center, as these are seen as the main contributors to the problem.
The move underscores the local government’s commitment to maintaining cleanliness in the community’s central thoroughfares. By targeting the most significant sources of waste, officials hope to ensure that the roads remain clear for all residents and visitors.
