Activities for Labour Day 2009 have moved into high gear in western Jamaica, with approximately 123 projects registered to date.

Checks with the Labour Day planning committees in the parishes of Trelawny, St James, Hanover and Westmoreland have revealed that there are 41 projects registered in Trelawny, 41 in St James, 21 in Hanover and 20 in Westmoreland.

Reports from the Social Develop-ment Commission (SDC) offices in the four parishes are that a number of registration forms are still expected to be turned in as Labour Day draws nearer. Labour Day will be celebrated on May 25 instead of today.

Montego Bay Mayor Charles Sinclair Jr said many of the projects registered in St James were focused on beautification.
