The petition of the undersigned visitors, residents and citizens of Bermuda declares that after a long campaign by Bermuda's public, the Government of Bermuda offered and on 1 April 2008 signed an agreement to exchange the 37 acre near-pristine Southlands property for 80 acres at Morgan’s Point with the expressed purpose of saving Southland from hotel construction and preserving it as protected conservation lands and public park, and instead building the hotel that had been planned for Southlands on Morgan’s Point.
That agreement is in danger of being broken.
Therefore we, the undersigned, petition the Premier, the Cabinet and the Members of Bermuda’s Parliament to complete the promised land swap of Southlands and Morgan's Point so that Southlands can become a protected public parkland.

This land is precious to locals. Dont break the agreement please.
Already settled this years ago. Why are we back here again? Leave it alone.
Southlands is for the people not for developers. Stop trying to flip the land back!
Keep your promises for once. We worked way too hard to let this happen.
DONT TOUCH THE SOUTH SHORE.
Leave this beauty spot alone!

Southlands land should not now be taken away from residents. The deal was made and this contract should not be broken.
