Destruction of Maraval River
THE EDITOR: I write this letter which I have copied to the Chief Executive Officer of the Environmental Authority and the Ministers mostly closely related to the pollution and destruction of the Maraval River in the hope that urgent remedial action would be taken. For some months now a developer has been cutting into the slopes along part of the Maraval River in the vicinity of the Maraval Reservoir. The developer’s heavy equipment have removed the banks of the river in the area of the development. The river is being polluted and made muddy by the rubble and dirt from the adjacent hillside that is being denuded of the trees and ploughed into. The river is being destroyed, the landscape scarred and the waters polluted. All of these things increase the danger to citizens and increase the cost to taxpayers for cleaning up and getting rid of the pollution while a developer gets rich at public expense. How can the Environmental Authority, Town and Country Planning Division, the Minister for the Environment, the Minister of Planning and Minister Imbert the representative for the area preside over this destruction of our country? It is a great shame. They must act to stop it now. JOHN FRASIER Maraval
