Name: Wendy Lee on Jun 2, 2007Comments: My fellow Jamaicans, we must fight to prevent our national assets from being carved up and shared among the greedy, unscrupulous and short-sighted people who control this country. Jamaica just celebrated the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade in the British Caribbean - yet the basic rights of Jamaicans to enjoy their own legally designated public beaches are being violated, over and over again (at Pear Tree Bottom, for example). We cannot even see the beauty of our coastline, blocked by the high walls of the 'luxury' resorts. But we can smell the stink from their inadequate and labouring sewage treatment plants, planted in our backyards. When will our current masters wake up and realise that there are some things money can't buy Like the warmth and hospitality of people who belong to a true community, who respect each other, who care about the natural environment. Winnifred Beach belongs to the people of this country, not the politicians and their cronies! The UDC must hand over what they tried to steal when no-one was looking. We are paying attention now, and the laws and Courts are on our side.Flag

Name: Janet Todd on Jun 2, 2007Comments: I completly endorse the protest against privitizing Winnifred Beach. Too many beaches are being lost for the use of Jamaicans. Money is NOT everything. The Urban Development Corporation should keep itself in urban areas, and not interfere with our beaches. Surely they can find enough to do in urban areas to keep them busy for at least 200 years.Flag

Name: Piero Ribelli on Jun 2, 2007Comments: I love Winnifred Beach, place of some of my best memories of Jamaica. Keeping it publich will allow not only the local citizens but also visitors from all over Jamaica and the rest of the world to enjoy a uniquely Jamaican experience. I have sent many, many friends to Winnifred and everybody always thanked me for the suggestion as one of their best during their Jamaican vacation. For the good of the Island, its image and its people, keep Winnifred what it has been for many years, a true Jamaican treasure!Flag

Name: E. "Del" Del Zopppo on Jun 2, 2007Comments: We have spent part of the past 17 winters in Port Antonio and I spend at least part of wevery week at Winnifred Beach. I love it for what it IS and DO NOT want to see it "developed". In addition, the idea that community beach will be privatized and the local community lose its access is both outrageous and immoral.Shame on the UDC and the government for even considering such a move!Flag

Name: Anonymous on Jun 3, 2007Comments: Unfortunately, I have seen the concrete developments of the UDC far too often to want to see any more. According to German friends of mine on seeing the sign that now let's us know that the pristine Reach Falls will soon look like the concrete jungle of Ochi's falls whose name I care not to even mention for the mere horror I feel when I hear it: "How can ze UDC beautify and improve ze natural beauty of a beautiful waterfall" A Rasta standing not far let us know: "Him fix what de Jah nah do right!" bursting into peals of laughter at his own joke. If we have too much concrete in Jamaica, let it be used to pave the roads and not the beaches!Flag
