I think there are now a few. One of them from what i hear is partially owned by a member of the opposition (deputy). So if/when Government changes expect to see a lot given to that company instead.

The rapid one should have been covered. Mine was on an inter island trip.

Fully agree, it is asinine the level of hoops one has to jump through just to open an account at a bank. And then all the yearly information you must provide

I suggest the Tribune looks at the area for this community after it rains. The cost to fill the land and build the drains necessary will be immense.

Simple have the union buy the land for the association. Problem solved.

Tell the staff to come back to work in the office, that will sort one problem out. Then pay them the amount as per the contract and negotiate better next time if you don't want to pay it. On the building the new buildings it is just like a union leader to not think forward to what is needed in the future rather then the past.

Why not allow the residents of those communities to run their power company. The people of Spanish Wells do and hardly have many power cuts (so i have been told) . Of curse it should be mandated that once passed over Government would not be subsidizing them anymore.

Never the unions fault, always something else to blame. The quicker we can all go to private solar the better for all of us.

As this became political from a number of years ago, the only way to sort this would be for Government to buy the land off access industries at market price. But they won't want to do that due to cost. From what i have heard this is private land, which means it is the owners property to do with it as they see fit (within town planning rules). If however there is also public access /right of way this must continue.

One thing never mentioned when we talk about growing our own, is are we OK on paying more for food. One of the reasons our farming died is because it was cheaper to import. If local food is going to be more expensive it may not be worth it.
