CAP TERNAY RAPED

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.
