Landlord blocks access to derelict vehicles site in Pockwood Pond
Information reaching our newsroom is that there has been a dispute over a land lease between M. Ashley Ritter and the Ministry of Health and Social Development.
It’s our understanding that Mr Ritter has a land lease with the Ministry to store derelict vehicles on his land at Pockwood Pond but that lease expired over a few months ago and has not been renewed.
Therefore, the Government has been occupying the land without payment and the landlord has now used a large excavator to block access to his property.
It is believed that because of the Commission of Inquiry Recommendations, the land lease has to be tendered while the landlord suffers without payment and the derelict vehicles remain on his property.
This has resulted in the Department of Waste Management's derelict vehicle programme on hold. It is unclear how the matter will be resolved.
Both Mr Ritter and Director of Waste Management Marcus E. Solomon did not respond to our request for comment.

I guess thats irrelevant if Mr Ritter has the crown lease payments all up to date.
Another government default......maybe the government should ask mr ritter if they can use the land for the new usa 250,000 concert sponsorship next year :-)
Are we the public able to see how much money our tax payments are paying to store these vehicles ??
Business before coral reefs. Business before sea grass beds. Business before mangrove trees. Business before the damn air that we breathe.
Old school mentality that comes from generations of scarcity means we think we must grab everything from nature and turn it into business. I hoped that Mr Ritter was one of the last generation to operate under this child-like delusion, but no, we taught our kids to think like that, and we have leaders stuck in the same old mentality.
Business is just ONE aspect of being a successful group of people. Not the only aspect.
Someone else —- Ministry perhaps. But not the Dept
Givernment gives all this stuff away....why doesnt government reclaim some land to store all this stuf and stop paying out millions in lease agreements each year
Or, heres a thought . Buy an industrial shredding machine and take the vehicles to the dump area and shred them...government needs to invest in itself instead of making the rich richer
Every one talking @uc^ about mangrove sea. bed lease. sea grass. and shark no one commented about when Nanny cay Marina did the same and doing it again set of st***ng mf
Interesting that you demonstrate and EVEN MORE simple mentality called whataboutism, which I believe would be a better blog handle for you in the future.
