JVD residents protest deplorable Immigration booth condition
According to Lucien E. Callwood aka Claudius, the seating arrangement that was left to accommodate visitors to the island at a booth near the local Customs office has been knocked down for over three weeks now with no explanation or signs erected to advise passengers of what is going on.
He described it as a very inconvenient situation to have persons standing around with only a shed left in place to cover them from the elements when they would usually be able to lounge in the area otherwise. “I think they should have put up a sign to say the place would be under renovations or something like that,” he said.
Callwood further expressed that persons who have been given the contract should have dismantled the seating once they were ready to do renovation works and had all materials in place instead of the current unpleasant arrangement that exists.
“They just went and they knocked it down and there’s cement about there… there’s wood. It’s a big time inconvenience for people there… you can’t sit down, they knocked out all the seats [that were there]… the place is in a mess,” he related.
Callwood said residents have been unable to speak with the persons responsible for the construction adding that it has also been a source of frustration for persons who have been accustomed to frequenting the area. “The people don’t know anything that is happening, and they see them just come sledging and mashing it up,” Callwood expressed.
Efforts to contact Chief Immigration Officer Dennis Jennings proved unsuccessful up to post time.
