A National Park at Graeme Hall is good for Barbados future, good for business and a win-win for the government and the tourism industry.

Done! But need to add something other than 240 acres for our children. That would be for my international firends…..any ideas?

I left the Nature Sanctuary about 3:15 pm and saw people walking down Highway 7 from as far away as the Plantation Restaurant where they had parked.
The traffic on the right hand side was barely moving.
It was refreshing to see the interest generated exemplified by the crowd of Bajans there.
Maybe there is hope.
…. didn’t see any politicians present.

Done!
Glad to hear so many people went there today.

no politicians equals no political will for a National Park John
thousands and thousands of Barbadians mean nothing until election time I guess?
We have elected men and women with little vision, passion or leadership.
Someone should tell them that they work for the citizens of Barbados and not the other way around.
The last group in power didn’t get the message.

Will we not learn? Black people being led down the garden path once again and loving it.
I can understand IAN BOURNE signing on, he is an IDIOT, he supported a THIEF at the SSA.
I want my Water Park.

I wanted to go but way too many, you could say it was SWAMPED in every sense of the word, LOL!
I think the sig needs a slight revision as “notbajan” suggested, the addition with asterisks as I have done on my sig -
Save 240 Acres *of Barbados* For Our Children.

“I believe there are discussions going on behind the scenes and I am hoping they would be successful,” Roberts told the DAILY NATION without going into details about the parties involved.
Stressing that the sanctuary’s closure on December 15 was not definite”
“Last week Allard announced that the sanctuary would be closed by mid-December, frustrated that a proposed national park encompassing the area had not materialised. He had invested $30 million into redeveloping the facility and has had the 35-acre sanctuary up for sale for US$12 million for sometime.”
Does this mean that Government will have to pay $24 million to acquire the Sanctuary?

Off topic: any more news on the Russian girl who was murdered in Palmer’s, St. John?
November 10, 2008 at 7:36 pm
I want to see the bills for the $30 million redevelopment.
I doubt that figure. Only Ian Bourne would believe that.
