Chief
Minister Calls Fire Pit On Meads Bay Beach A Disgrace |
The Valley, Anguilla, October, Tuesday, 2nd, 2007 ---
The Honourable Chief Minister Osbourne B. Fleming responded
to a call at 7:00am Sunday Morning, September 30th, 2007,
made by the West End Concerned Group. Upon his arrival he
was alarmed and dismayed to notice that someone had dug a
circular hole some 4 feet in depth and 10 ft in diameter and
used it for a fire pit right on the beach some 20 feet from
the water’s edge.
It was obvious that some form of merrymaking had taken place
there on the Meads Bay beach just to the North West of
Frangipani the Saturday night before. It was undetermined at
the time if the said merrymakers of this function were
responsible. The Chief Minister is investigating the matter
to determine just who the culprits are. The offenders had
not only used the beach inappropriately but displayed
blatant disregard for the safety of others. The intention
obviously was to provide more lighting or some sort of bond
fire effect but what was left in the final analysis was a
danger to others that could cause injury. The firewood used
obviously was construction material such as lumber with
nails and Pallot Boards taken from a construction site in
the vicinity. Chief Minister Fleming has called the act
disgraceful and an irresponsible use of the beach.
Chief Fleming is urging all persons using the beach to
sustain the aesthetics of the beach environment by cleaning
up after functions and by ensuring that any and all use of
the beaches does not infringe on the rights and privileges
of other users. It is quite disturbing to behold sights such
as the one witnessed on Sunday Morning at the Middle part of
Meads Bay Beach. Mr. Fleming is also encouraging persons to
report all such acts to the Environment Department.
