Last week, fishermen and boat owners in the Lagoon area received a memorandum from the Fisheries Department captioned;
“THE REMOVAL OF YOUR BOAT FROM PORT LOUIS COMPOUND”
The memorandum advised that from Monday 22nd, June 2009, Camper and Nicholson developers would be officially occupying the coastal land space which is located on the Lagoon Road. The memo advised that the space where the boats are docked will be used for the storage of heavy duty equipment and that Camper & Nicholson proposed to relocate the boats lower down.
Fishermen were rather shocked when persons from Camper & Nicholson approached them to remove their boats and advised that the area would be FENCED right up to the sidewalk since Camper & Nicholson OWNED the land. This was repeated by the Manager of Camper & Nicholson, Grenada in a news interview. |
