The shells are actually gone and they finally cleaned up that mess at the roundabout which honestly makes me want to cry because it looked so awful for so long. I am just staring at the empty space where the pile used to be (it is so clean now) and …
The practice of coconut vendors leaving their old coconut shells in large heaps off the highway at the Newton roundabout in Christ Church, is plain nastiness and a potential health hazard.
We the people of Barbados demand that the Ministry of Health act in the interest of the citizens and stamp out this very grotesque practice.
Driving past that roundabout again today just made me so angry because it honestly feels like nobody is actually looking at those piles of rot accumulating. I have been fielding so many messages from people who deal with the smell every single morning and honestly I am just trying to figure out which office in the Ministry of Health actually answers the phone when you try to report a literal health hazard like this.

It's disgusting, and not a marker of a proud and developed nation. Move the shells.

The practice is disgusting. It's provides a harbourage for rodents and other vermin and breedings ground for mosquitoes. What I can't understand is the lack of real sustained action by the public health officials to fix the problem.

It's really simple, fine whoever sells there. Even if they did not put the shells there. If they're selling there and the hazard remains, fine whoever is around. Lol, bet you it gets clean up then.

This is down right nastiness and a total disregard for the customer health who patronize with them. It needs to STOP NOW!!!

This is very disgraceful.
Why can everyone except the authorities see it?
