Rowley: Don’t turn ‘Chag’ into Pigeon Point

Planning and Development Minister Keith Rowley yesterday made a call for investors in the Chaguaramas area to maintain it’s natural beauty.

Rowley was speaking at the opening of the refurbished Chagville Beach Facility which was hosted by the Chaguaramas Development Authority yesterday evening at the Chagville Beach, Central Chaguaramas. “When we say development it usually refers to the indiscriminate pouring of concrete and the building of shacks,” said Rowley. The Minister added, “We have developed Pigeon Point into Barataria with a beach.” He thanked all involved with the Chagville refurbishment programme and made a call to citizens not to make the “development” mistake repeatedly. “There is nothing more complete than nature,” declared Rowley.
