| 1151 | Patrick Rosshirt | The UDC is the acronym for under the devils control, Jah would never give the power to a bald head. Stop this puss-in-a-bag government grab.People of Portland awake a promise is a comfort to a fool. Do not be fooled by the UDC. |
| 1152 | kayla rosshirt | I am eight years old and was born in Portland. I learned to swim at Winnifred Beach in 2002. My Dad taught me about nature@ Winnifred. Please keep the beach free so other children like me will share in its beauty. |

| 1154 | CYNTHIA L.. STEWART | you are correct about the over developement on the portland side of the island as it relates to the water...i noticed when i was there in 2006(i stay with the thompson family up at snowhill..father,mother and daughter are all educators)...i asked mr. t. about why the water looking so bad(on the way to kingston via the anotto and buff bay route,he said because the coral reef is being killed off. i noticed the same thing when i visited a restaurant(survival beach) which is right at the water there on folly road in port antonio...water looks bad. they need to quickly check the over developement that is taking place...they(greed) will destroy the island. and i want to see winnifred and boston beach,and any of the other public beaches left alone. |
| 1155 | Brigid Benson | As a regular visitor to Jamaica, who used to live there, l strongly support this campaign to keep quality beaches free and accessible to all. It is essential for the vitality and longterm benefit of the island that Jamaicans can both visit and run small businesses in or near beach areas. Otherwise they derive very little direct benefit from tourism and tourists likewise do not get to know the people. |
| 1156 | Anonymous | UDC's plans will only facilitate those who want a piece of Portland and and use "development" as a smokescreen. Talk to the people at Fairy Hill. They will tell you what is NEEDED for the area and what can and will work. |
| 1157 | Catherine L. Smith | I heartily support your petition, and pray your beach remains free for the people of Jamaica !! Justice, equality, unity and respect - for all of you/us. Many thanks to the people working hard to achieve this goal ! My heart goes out to you all ... |
| 1158 | lashawn | Write to friends of the sea, Ocho Rios for funding and also the Environmental agency in Kingston for funding they have grants FREE money to assist in community affairs.It's a important saving for the island!! Good Luck |

| 1160 | Nahdoondoo Oakley | i am a portlander who knows for certain that winnifred beach is the only beach that is available to the public currently. the people of portland look forward to this beach on sundays and holidays taking this away from them is like taking the soul from a person. the goverment must understand that the people is what tourist enjoy about jamaica this beach allow visitors and locals to mix and mingle and share cultures. by leaving this beach public is a contribution in it itself to the tourism product of jamaica. lets maintain what we are and what we offer, a tourism product that allows others to experience who we are what we do and what makes us different. |

| 1162 | Andrianna Campbell | This public beach makes this part of Jamaica special. It attracts the traveller who want a slice of an undeveloped landscape. Port Antonio will never be a Negril. You must develop a tourist industry that caters to the travelers that already visit maybe with an eye to expanding the eco-travel niche that could be important to the area. |

| 1166 | Mary Scott | Please keep Winnifred beach a public beach for the
Jamaican natives and tourists. |
| 1167 | H. Mitchell | Save something for the people who can't afford the fancy hotels and villas. Save the beach for all residents. Save it for visitors who want to know the real Jamaica and its people. Everything should not be about profitability! Go back to mashing up MoBay and Ochi! |
| 1168 | Anonymous | Most of the North coast has been ransacked and spoilt due to a greedy, corrupt government and inept planning policies and a ‘NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE’ planning department. Now it’s the turn of Portland to be overtaken by manipulating greedy ‘developer’ cronies of the new ‘NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE’ udc and government of Jamaica.
Jamaica urgently needs SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, definition which means ‘development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs'.
It is about time this starts to be addressed and Jamaica’s environmental protection, economic development, social equity and poverty alleviation (Sustainable Development) are all incorporated in the udc and Jamaican Governments plans and policies, starting with WINNIFRED BEACH.
KEEP UP THE FIGHT – FREE WINNIFRED BEACH |

| 1177 | lucilla fantini | i've been thee...winnifred beach was my favorite beach in J.A. i met a lot of jamaican ppl there and make friends..DON'T STOP FIGHTING!! |
| 1178 | Cori Frye | I LOVE that beach. It is one of the main reasons I come to Jamaica. I have friends that I care deeply for who make their living from that beach. It needs to be there for them and also to show the "true" Jamaica. Leave the beach alone. It would be a tragedy if the UDC touched it. |

| 1183 | Anonymous | A beautiful beach which is where locals can enjoy what tourists take for granted in their 'paid for' locations.
I thoroughly enjoyed a day there and look forward to more.....pity about the road access. |

| 1188 | yvette miller | I live in London, England and often visit Jamaica and absolutely love Winnifred beach. I would be deeply upset and disappointed to see Jamaicas most beautiful beach destroyed by governmental change. |
| 1189 | Richard Armstrong | To privitize would be a disgrace and an extra burdon on the difficulties the Jamaocan people struggle with day to day. It belongs as a national heritage preserve - as is, |

| 1191 | Lavinia | Winnifred is the most beautiful beach I've ever seen in my life, durin my past trips around the world. What makes it such an amazin place is the matter of fact that both jamaicans and foreigners meet there, makin this place one of the most real opportunity to get to know jamaicans and their culture. |

| 1193 | Patrick Rosshirt | Carla-51@cwjamaica.com please read Jamaica Beach Control Act of 1956 Part 52.41 (4) (a). The Act in and of it self is quite long . Note that this Act was formulated by Norman Manley in responce to beach access predicated upon race, in particular the exclusion of dark skinned Jamaicans to the beach, but more specifically the exclusion of Michael Manley and his Wife to the beach in Ochio Rios. This Act was not specific to the PNP or the JLP, however of both National and International scope. |
