Bajans Wake up! You are About to Lose Browne’s Beach!
Submitted by DAVID A. COMISSIONG , President, Peoples Empowerment Party
Hyatt Hotel hotel coming to Bridgetown?
On Tuesday 26th July 2016 — Barbados’ “Day of National Significance” — notorious Barbadian businessman Mark Maloney, Minister of Tourism Richard Sealy, Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler, and one Patrick Mc Cudden, senior Vice President of the American multi-national company known as Hyatts Hotel and Resorts staged a so-called “signing ceremony” and informed the Barbadian people that in two months time Hyatts Hotel and Resorts will be commencing the construction of a massive fifteen (15) storey hotel at Carlisle Bay, Lower Bay Street, within the precincts of the UNESCO designated world heritage site of historic Bridgetown and its Garrison, and abutting Barbadians beloved Browne’s Beach.
The foreign businessman, Patrick Mc Cudden, also informed the people of Barbados that all senior management positions at the new hotel will be filled by “expatriates” ! (Apparently, we Barbadians are only qualified to hold low level jobs in this Hyatt hotel!)
In addition, the notorious Mark Maloney advised the Barbadian people that this massive 15 storey hotel is just the beginning of a proliferation of new hotel development in Carlisle Bay!
Well, this is the social disaster that I have been trying to warn my fellow Barbadians about over the past four and a half years!
As long ago as the 20th of February 2012 I issued a Press Release entitled “After Skeete’s Bay, Browne’s Beach Is Next“, in which I tried to warn Barbadians about an impending plan to construct a number of foreign, “brand name” hotels up and down the length of our beloved Brown’s Beach.
In the public interest I now offer the text of that Press Release for re-publication:–
“As a result of a protest launched by Mac Fingall, Stedson Wiltshire, and other residents of St Philip, the eyes of the Barbadian people are fixed on Skeete’s Bay!
But the Peoples Empowerment Party (PEP) wishes to warn the citizens of Barbados that an even more prominent and culturally important beach is in danger of being taken away from native Barbadians and turned into an enclave for wealthy, white North American and European tourists! We refer to none other than Brown’s Beach – the world famous Brown’s Beach that extends across the length of Carlisle Bay in the parish of St Michael.
All Barbadians know Browne’s Beach. It is reputed to be one of the finest beaches in the world, and, along with Brandon’s Beach, is the beach of choice of the black, working-class people of Barbados.
It is also a beach that is famous in the native literature of Barbados. Our very own national poet laureate – Kamau Brathwaite – virtually grew up on Brown’s beach, and was so shaped by this experience that Brown’s Beach became the spiritual and cultural source and centre of a number of his most important poems.
Go to Browne’s Beach any time of the day and any day of the week, and you will find hundreds of black Barbadians communing with each other, and enjoying this magnificent and priceless component of their birth-right. Indeed, many Barbadians will tell you that Brown’s Beach is their health spa and doctor combined together, for it is the place where they escape from the stresses of life and rejuvenate their spirits.
It is against this background that we in the PEP were recently shocked to learn that one or more business consultants are currently engaged in developing a plan to offer up Browne’s Beach as the location for a number of foreign, brand-name hotel companies to construct opulent five star hotels on this most loved of Barbadian beaches!
The President of the PEP has actually spoken to one of the consultants, and heard the same type of unedifying and self-serving rationalizations that the Canadian capitalist – Paul Doyle – has advanced in relation to the Skeete’s Bay project. According to these people, we Barbadians should be willing to let go of national assets like Brown’s Beach because we are dependent on foreign exchange, and foreign companies are well equipped to market their properties internationally and to bring additional thousands of precious tourists to our shores.
All of these capitalist businessmen talk as though the people of Barbados only exist on the material plane – as though we Barbadians are similar to pigs whose only purpose in life is to be fattened! They all seem to overlook that we are human beings with spiritual, cultural and psychological yearnings and needs!
Well, before this private sector driven idea of turning over Browne’s Beach to “foreign brand-name hotels” gets any further, the PEP is hereby firing a warning shot across the bow of our Ministry of Tourism, and indeed, across the bow of the entire Cabinet. And we are telling them that Browne’s Beach is much too sacred to the native people of Barbados for us to stand idly by and permit it to become an alien zone that is effectively off limits to us.
As it is, we Barbadian people are already sharing Browne’s Beach with a sizeable number of North American and European tourists. And we are happy to do so. But a balance must be maintained, and Browne’s Beach must never be permitted to become one of your typical West Coast beaches – beaches that native Barbadians feel no longer belong to them!
Furthermore, the time has come when we Barbadians must consciously set out to take firm control of our nation, and mould it in accordance with our own ideas, needs and predilections.
We have been operating hotels in Barbados for over 200 years now, and we know about the hotel and tourism industry. We don’t need any foreign tutelage! Let us therefore resolve that future hotel and tourism development will, as far as possible, be based in the construction of locally owned hotels, guest houses and related facilities that radiate the unique culture and hospitality of Barbados and Barbadians.
Thus, if there is to be any further tourism related development along Brown’s Bay, let us ensure that it is owned by and evocative of Barbadians. And let Browne’s Beach always remain a place where Barbadians feel at home!”

this issue would only rattled the Bees but any right thinking person who see the importance for the development would first and foremost focused on the what are the necessity for the investment .
I was a resident of the area and remember only having limited access to brownes beach by way of the old fish market or a make shift side entrance between the gas station and houses .
the other area of entrance was by the open window to limited to bathing ,
But for those who are livid opposers to the development i challenged them to offer any other form of development that would breath life into that run down area called baystreet

Let us ‘rightly’ assume Four Seasons was not obligated to pump money into the Paradise Project just like Wyndham or Hyatt will not be expected to pump money into future white and ‘brown’ tourism elephants.
The question still remains to be answered is who are the ‘real’ investors behind the Brown(e)’s beach aka Hyatt project. We know the Chinese are behind the Sam Lord’s phoenix but which investors or moneylenders really and truly are behind the Bay Street behemoth?
Let me state clearly that there is in principle no real opposition to the much needed infrastructural development of the area which has been in the pipeline for decades going back to the Tom Adams administration.
But just like the plan to restore the old Empire Theatre building to be an architectural icon dedicated to the local arts and cultural expression who is to say the proposed Hyatt erection of a tower of tall tales is not just another bullshit scam to manipulate the minds of the gullible for pending general elections just like the much touted proposal during the last elections to build a brand new ‘second-hand’ general hospital.
You, David, should believe in the Hyatt investors when Stinkliar succeeds in offloading the Four Season fiasco to so-called eager investors fighting hand over fist for a piece of the action while queuing outside his office since 2012.
It’s a crying shame the same Stinkliar is unable to bring on stream the long-promised Performing Arts Centre at Brandons to be financed with free (grant) money from the Chinese. What a sight it would be to see visitors from both the Hyatt and the soon-to-be sold Four Seasons fiasco having to compete for entry into this much promised Bajan equivalent of the Royal Albert Hall during the Cropover season.

selling them self out for long term JOB work until the next building Project ,
The land in which this is all to happen is based on who owns the land and land owners Permission, As we see and look , We can not see who is to be the owner of this land,
It Maybe William Skinner ? by all talk and not John Beckles who died in the 50s and not John Beckles who died in 1832,
So now we have that the John Beckles who died in the 1950s sold that Plantation in the 1930s to Beatrice Henry in the 30s Who then leave it to Violet Beckles in the 1985 with Probate . Town and Country makes their money by approving PLANS and not Permission to build, for Mark Cummings know that is fraud and look to step to aside, No matter who have fraud papers still need permission from the owner of the land, No records can been shown as YET that any of the ones in this Hyatt dealing , talking is the owner, Money changing hands is still fraud just like the Oval and the High Court,,
We will wait who is investing in fraud in Bim with out CLEAR TITLE, a lot of blackmail going on in Bim, white people got this full nigger government in a twist and bent over with eyes shut,
If DBLP deal with truth and history of FACTS all this can be cleaned up and put the Caribbean in Place ,

Denis Lowe cannot recall anybody to the Public Service. He could do so if it were a statutory board.
Dr. Brewster was ACCUSED of wrongdoing. He was tried, found guilty and dismissed from the Public Service. He appealed and it was found that the evidence against him could not stand up and he was reinstated.

I remember Browns Beach very well as a boy living in Barbados. That’s the first place I learnt how to swim. Browns Beach was actually a meeting place for man Barbadians in the past. I have NO IDEA if it still is. But at the rate that the Government is going just selling off Barbados as though it’s their’s to just do with as they please it truly mind boggling to me. And with all this happening, what YOU the people of Barbados going to do when you no longer what you once knew was Barbados? How can anyone just come into Barbados and dictate how they will allow to work at what jobs, when I’m quite sure that Barbados has many who QUALIFY FOR THE POSITIONS THAT ARE GIVE TO OUTSIDERS? If YOU the people DOES NOTHING, then you’ll continue to get NOTHING. For whatever reason it seems that debating is all that’s ever done. Which at the end of the day gets you NOTHING. But right back to square one.. And the rich is getting richer, while the poor is getting poorer; Check and see how much of the 166 square miles of Barbados, Barbadians owns? I’m quite sure that at the rate the selling will continue to, it will continue to have the name Barbados, but FOREIGN OWNED. This is so sad…. How is it possible that this Government is above the law.

Absolute nonsense. Why do you not check your facts before posting such erroneous information. The structure from Grand Barbados to into the sea was there long before Mr Arthur perhaps dreamed of becoming a politician and was called the Aquatic club. It bordered Graves end beach which we now refer to as pebbles beach on one side and the segregated yacht club on the other. The swimming area was the established home of water polo in Barbados and the established schools held their swimming competitions there. The references to the cruising club and the purported intervention of Mr Barrow is but a figment of the writer’s imagination.

We could not even swim between the piles at the Aquatic club; they threw hot water on you so we had to learn to hit off from the esplanade and swim around the aquatIC CLUB AND COME TO SHORE AT GRAVES END.

Don’t forget that the PROPERTY, ENCOMPASSING THE LAND NOW EARMARKED FOR THE hyatt, was owned by a group of Black Businessmen, who bought it and built a number of tourist oriented structures on it; including restaurant, boutiques etc. For years the businesses were not doing any significant business and the owners eventually decided to sell. Why could the business establishment in Barbados have gotten together and pushed the idea of the hotels as noe proposed? Becsuat they wanted Barbados to fail. Why could you not have posited the idea of Beachfront development? No Vision. If others had the vision; no doubt encouraged by nature’s “building” of as substantial beach front, does not matter. What matters is the need for the government to establish “by constitutional change” the right to access by all Bajans to free and unfettered access to ALL beaches. It must be done quickly, not just put in a manifesto for the next election, IT MUST BE DONE NOW. ANY POLITICIAN WHO VOTES AGAINST IT SHOULE NEVER BE ELECTED TO PARLIAMENT.

You always miss the point, conveniently or otherwise. A large part of the problem is that there is a ack of transparency how these transactions are done. When the public gets to learn about the deal it is signed seal and delivered. How did Maloney hear about the deal with Hyatt? When was the EIA done? Why is a small group of White or high yellow people getting all the work after your DLP promised that 30% will be given to small contractors?

There was indeed a wall separating the Yacht club from Burkes beach where the Burkes of sailing fame lived. Entrance to this section of the beach was the track next to the Police boys club. This section of the bathing area served as a small fishing facility as well for people from the other side of the Bayland and the Beckles hill and Chelsea road areas.

There are a few pulp novels written about the Caribbean that tell the story of a foreign businessman who falls in love with an island, and who then bribes a corrupt local politician to secure approval for a hotel project, only to run into a rabble-rousing political activist, usually described as a handsome, British-trained mulatto lawyer. In the novels, the local lawyer mobilizes local opinion against the hotel project (and usually seduces the hotel owner’s wife or girlfriend).
In other words, we find ourselves in a familiar situation that is as old as the post-war tourist industry in the Caribbean. Predictably, the threat to local use of a beach is being overstated to achieve ‘political’ objectives. Predictably, the government looks bad because it’s public relations strategy will be Too Little, Too Late.
However, the facts are that (1) Barbados has lost traction with North American tourists since the 1970s, when Canadians formed the leading market segment, (2) given the uncertainties generated by Brexit, it is perilous to depend as heavily as we do on tourist traffic from the UK , so (3) it makes sense to build large (I.e., efficient) US branded hotels that will strengthen the island’s appeal in both the US and Canada. Case closed.

Except for the above I generally support the other comments in your post. However you had to be a damn good swimmer to unnecessarily hit off from the esplanade and swim around the Aquatic club to Graves end when Burkes Beach. When we played in the esplanade after Sunday school in the fifties the water was so rough that it flowed over the embankment and the edge was always slippery. It was good night nurse if the ball went into the sea. I recall the aquatic pier to be off limits for us unless engaged in swimming sports but you were not prevented from swimming between the piles provided you kept your distance from the Yacht club The cruising club was formed by snobbish professional negrocratic black people including Mr Barrow who thumbed their noses at less well off black people and got a rude awakening when they discovered that the colour of white and not position was the passport to membership of the infamous Yacht club; and speaking subject to correction I believe Mr Barrow’s cousin was the first commodore . We always attributing things to Mr Barrow that he did not do. Your comment that Mr Barrow made the Yacht club remove the Royal charter from its name and made them accept black people is nothing more than pure speculation. To this I ask when was the Royal charter added to the Barbados police force? Finally I do not know whether those days were sweet or sour because though devoid of the materials which children take for granted nowadays since my thought processes did not dwell on such things at the time but I cannot remember going to bed hungry one night for lack of something to eat.

You say:”I cannot remember going to bed hungry one night for lack of something to eat.” I certainly can, because as a poor boy there were many nights like that, and days when I went to Browne’s Beach to help fishermen haul up their boats, to get some of the fish to assuage our hunger. You were indeed fortunate. that is why ou would not have been one of those prevented from swimming between the piles at the Aquatic club. We ever indeed good swimmers; we lived days on end playing and swimming at Graves End Browne’s beach and behind the HaRBOUR POLICE STATION. I USED TO SPEAR FISH, LEAVING FROM THAT SAME SPOT AND SWIMMING AND DIVING ALLL THE WAY DOWN TO PELICAN ISLAND. When I visited behind the Pier Head a few months ago I was astonished at the accumulation of the sand and the beach there, because as a boy there were caves full of fish, and huge blocks of coral limestone forming them in that area. Now it is all beach. the proposed Marina Beach development would have to be built half way out in Carlisle Bay now
… the colour of white and not position was the passport to membership of the infamous Yacht club;” It also applied to everything else, and continues still. It is what prevented Blacks from becoming prominent business men, no access to financing.
Barbara: BOYCOTT OUTSIDE INVESTORS. That is a stupid statement. NO country ever boycott outside investors. Foreign exchange is needed to buy goods from outside the country. IF YOU BUY A CAR, IT HAS TO BE PAID FOR WITH FOREIGN EXCHANGE, WHICH HAS TO BE BROUGHT INTO THE COUNTRY. WHERE ELSE WOULD IT COME FROM BUT FROM FOREIGN INVESTORS.We need to open our eyes and understand the world around us and how it operates. The idiots in England who voted Brexit are now understanding the implications. They are now understanding that they will not, among other things have unfettered access to all of Europe. They may have to get visas to travel to certain countries, for instance. All agreements will have to be renegotiated. This happens when people are insular and uninformed. Like so many in Barbados.

Why would you expect the decision to build the Hyatt be revealed until it is finalized? or close to being finalized. Even now I don’t thin the sale of the land across the road,by the church authorities, has been completed. Nothing has stopped those with vision, who owned the property from doing what the new investors plan to do. Mrs Ram bought the property that was a former bond house and thaT HAD BEEN ADVERTISED FOR SALE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, but which has been kept as a bond house. Why was Casa Grande not constructed there? Because the beach had not yet been formed.

Citizenship by investment programmes may be considered as economic development strategies, designed to achieve the objective of enhancing a country’s attractiveness to INTERNATIONAL ENTREPRENEURS and INVESTORS and to create more favorable conditions for FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTS.
On January 7, 2016 an article entitled: “St Lucia’s Citizenship by Investment Programme Officially Opens for Business,” was posted to BU by “caribbeantradelaw.”
The same consortium of yard-fowls who are now supporting foreign investment, wrote the following in response to the above mentioned article:
“ac January 10, 2016 at 9:15 AM #: Citizenship by investment for small islands are short term solutions with inherent long term problems with a cause to question a massive turnover of a countries wealth in a inappropriate manner for secondary citizenship. Although the program in its purest form of distribution (contains) or stems much need economic instability, The negatives for long term fall out are real and cannot be overlooked as the natives become more aware of callous wealth taking political and financial leverage eliminating the influence or political interest of the native. It requires a balancing act which most small island govts does not have the vision or wherewithal to undertake.”
