The developers of the Cap Ternay hotel development, the
Emirates Group, have commenced operations within the national park. Recently a
small excavator entered the site with a view to start excavation of the
wetlands. As fate would have it, the excavator got stuck in the mud and had to
be retrieved; it was later removed from the site. Information suggests that
dredging of the bay will start within the next month. Residents of the district
are not amused at the recent developments; furious that their views had not
been taken into consideration. The meeting held as part of the scoping exercise
had been just a bluff.

There is also reliable information that a local company is
bringing in a huge landing craft that will transport construction material to
Cap Ternay by sea. Unconfirmed reports also indicate that the same craft will
be transporting materials for the Grand Police project. It is alleged that the
craft baptized as ‘Ton Jo’ will arrive in port shortly; the same company has
also invested in the most modern piling equipment for the two projects.
This contemptuous attitude of government is sickening. James
Michel’s commitment to stay connected to the people remains rhetoric.
