One can only wonder how, with a sewerage treatment plant so close, could licenses be given to Dairy Queen, Dominoes, the Deli next door, Subway, and Burger King (soon to be Bamboo shack) to serve food. A fowl odour permeates the entire area and it is amazing that more people are not sick. We need to get serious about the issuance of restaurant licenses and the location of these sewerage treatment plants in close proximity.

Spot on. Oracle. Disney will commercialize that beach. Destroy the reef; develop their own playground, and the dregs will go to the people of Green Castle and South Eleuthera. But then this is how it has been and always will be when we elect consecutive governments who careabout their pockets, and not the country, ecology, or welfare of the people.

Potters Cay is nasty. the Sewerage Plant was closed years ago and moved to the Landfill. There was to be no more sewerage processed at that plant. But it still smells like sh-t when you drive by. Bathroom facilities are filthy. Vendors and customers alike urinate in the water where the conchs are "strung up". They reside in muck and filth that has been accumulating forty years. No one washes their hands before mixing a salad. Every other would be restaurant owner has to have male and female restrooms, hot and cold running water, health certificates, and now this poisoning is being blamed on not washing the conchs in fresh water. Now we are going to inspect what is going on. Bulls--t. Close the whole place down. Make them put in individual restrooms, make them have a BPL hookup, make them adhere to all of the requirements of a restaurant, and have regular sanitation inspections. Stop all of this pointless talk. Oh, and make them pay the rent for which most of them are in arrears.

Bye bye VAT 4.5% increase. History has shown that no hotel owned by the Government, no matter who managed it, made a profit. We sold all of them at a loss, and failed to collect the tax revenues from the new purchasers. Here we go again.

Another relic pops out of the cobwebs and spouts b/s. An ex-chairman wannabe finished hopeful.

I find it hard to believe these figures. A drop of only .1%. Come on. Get real. the Government has laid off enough workers on its own to far surpass this figure. What about the thousands that just got out of High School? Figures can be manipulated to reflect whatever you want them to. Time to stop this rhetoric and do something about it.

This has happened several times before. It is about time that this place needs to be closed and relocated out of the area which has residential sub-divisions all around it. A huge junk yard where it should not be.

A true National Hero. Talented. Polite. And promotes her Bahamas at every opportunity.

Ain't nobody going to tell this man how or what to do. He has a huge chunk of the grocery market; is very wealthy; employs hundreds, if not thousands, and is up in years. What would happen if Super Value and Quality Markets closed down? He is a shrewd business man and has for the last three weeks been emptying his shelves of the soon to been no duty breadbasket items. His Cable Beach store only has one brand of corned beef on the shelves and the chicken selection is deplorable. His coolers are not working properly and there is blood and muck in every chicken cooler. So what? He has the only food chain for the middle and lower class. Fresh Market is a disgrace. Overpriced; and many of their items are stale dated. The government can never collect all the vat due to them and price control is a joke. Attack the food stores. See what happens. I will watch and see.

Well said "Well_mudda_take_sic". I agree with you wholeheartedly.
