In 15 days the next hurricane Season starts-nothing done on the canal Mrs McCauley.Hope the Blue Lagoon attracts more attention than our Canal,our reefs,our fishermans beach,and our safety,and our environment

There is not much more I can do about the canal, unfortunately. NEPA issued a warning/breach notice (forget which one, am at home now) to the National Works Agency and has not enforced it. It is the same problem as Blue Lagoon - (1)permits and licenses which should NOT be issued being issued, and (2) no enforcement of good permits.

It is time for other voices to be raised - write to the press, write to the Prime Minister (he is the Minister of the Environment), write to your MP, call a talk show, call a reporter.

We should all be concerned, all be prepared to take action on the lack of enforcement of the environmental laws, wherever in the island they occur. Far too often, JET stands alone in these matters.

Thank you for voicing this concern CANAL. Sometimes I feel like a lone wolf 'cause I have raised this on and off and, except for one or two responses (thank you Ms McCauley), I have been unable to get this to the forefront. I don't live in Treasure Beach, but I was raised there, and have many friends and family there. So I am concerned.

There WILL be a problem one of these days. It won't only be Mr Taylor's house, nor only those along the canal banks. Then there will be weeping and knashing of teeth. There will be finger pointing and I hope it will be in the mirror. You see, we've been busy playing with the fiddle and ignoring the elephant in the room. Play on!

What happened to the TB Sustainability Commitee that works with the Parish Council?

Parish Council......That's a laugh.

Licenses here.....Permits there.

No one cares.
So the residents of Treasure Beach might have to take the bull by the horn and just do what needs to be done.

God help us all.

Maybe a represenative of the Sustainable Development Commitee or the Parish Council will comment.

Yes, the residents may have to do it Bag of Laughs. I hope it is done properly, whoever finishes and maintains it.

Blah blah blah...
5 years from now we will still be talking blah blah blah. Just reduce your stress levels and accept the fact that nothing will be done, not today, not next year, and probably not in your lifetime. The move on
