Open Letter to Mr. Kerrie Symmonds – The Lack of Representation by MP for St.James Central

Submitted by Alden Blackman Sir, this is the second time in the past 15 years the BLP is the Government of Barbados and you as a Minister and MP for St. James Central. Yet with the knowledge of and repeated promises, you have failed to obtain a correction to the dangerous situation of an “illegal encroachment”…

Illegal encroachment built by Ex-Pat Pat Brayshaw

Sir, this is the second time in the past 15 years the BLP is the Government of Barbados and you as a Minister and MP for St. James Central. Yet with the knowledge of and repeated promises, you have failed to obtain a correction to the dangerous situation of an “illegal encroachment” by an Ex-pat White land owner who commissioned the building up/out a garden-cum-an illegal private botched road in a watercourse between Chapel Gap and Clarke’s Road in St.James.  Said road “encroachment” as you have seen and know, obstructs and redirect flood flow from the original course to the Black low working class residential area of Clarke’s Road.

Sir, although the officials of MTW/Drainage Unit, led then, by CTO Frank Thornhill, DCTO Philip Tudor, and other government officials know the encroachment is illegal, and posed a risk, yet, they showed indifference to this dangerous situation by not having it corrected.

Again highlighting what seems to be a lack of representation and or possibly indifference.

    Then we have those who are now in a daze after May 24, 2018, can remember every event from 2008 to 2018, but had memory loss between 1999 to 2008. I suspect that Mr. Symmonds is in this latter category and does not have a clear recall of events in 2002 and 2003.

    Thanks Bro

    After the second wrong by Arthur/Contractor/ “caused destruction” to the watercourse, Mr. Blackman had a conversation with Arthur, who said, that all he can do is ask BWA, to build a wall to stop water from entering Blackman home, Blackman and I have come to a conclusion, after the British ex-pat boldly told Blackman, in 2005 she don’t know why he running about complaining for her, because pipe coming along the watercourse, she got that information from Arthur, who placed the illegal private road, even though, he knew it is illegal.

    The indifference, and dishonesty of MTW / Drainage Unit Officers, led by CTO Thornhill,and DCTO Tudor to the plight, caused by an illegal private road in a natural watercourse, that obstructed a redirect flood flow to the Black residential area of Clarke’s Road,

    While the asinine action of the DLP, MP Mr, George Hutson, seems to be keeping up his practice of pandering to White.

    The none representation of the Black residents plight by BLP,MP Mr. Kerrie Symmonds, seems to be keeping up a family tradition of White is right, Black stand Back

    @ Dr. GP

    De grandson and I would love to help Watchman and every single bajan like Watchman

    So what de ole man going do is very simple

    I going start a new campaign strategy which will have a different thrust.

    All the suggestions de ole man been putting here for “other bajans to do” de ole man and me grandson going do meself.

    And each step along the way de ole man going tell the bajans WHO ARE INTERESTED, what has been done and where it has been done.

    So the first step of the campaign is to create a visual environment where people with similar interest can congregate

    I done wid all de “talking”

    Time for action

    Thank you Dr. GP for your instruction for “faith WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD”

    Let me go and start the first step in this now…

    @ Brother Hants

    Thank you very much for that video with the flooding

    It is these types of “human experiences” that will highlight the reality of people like Mr. Alden Brathwaite and others continue to be subjected to AT THE HANDS OF THIS DUPOPLY.

    I would really like to ask Watchman to send links for these articles that have been published regionally a 3rd time but i think that i am understanding that maybe those questions aew technologically giving a problem for Watchman

    Which ctually brings me to this point Brother hants.

    For the last 3 years of this advocacy, de ole man has been advocating all sorts of things while “pleading” for a few good men to stand up AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

    Mine is a realization that the people that one is asking to make a difference actually, like watchman, dont know what to do.

    Took some time to recognize this, 3 years.

    Periodically I would ask a question about if a person/party wanted de ole man’s help and at times there would be a response and at other times one would get a few likes.

    But people were afraid BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO BE IDENTIFIED.

    During that time I have become aware that they are hundreds, thousands and tens of thousands of bajans who truly want change BUT ARE DISILLUSIONED by the system and furthermore do not think that the duopoly can be changed.

    Mine is the realiation that they have been beseiged by the two party system for so long that they are punch drunk AND REALLY DONT SEE ANOTHER WAY OUT.

    I will show them a way to make this happen.

    A systematic way where AFTER ALL MY PROLIX SUBMISSIONS, DE OLE MAN WILL MOVE from “theory and translate this into practice”

    If something has to be done “DO THAT SOMETHING YOURSELF”!

    By watching the debate, I notice that the former Chief Town Planner, is now PS at MTW, so Blackman could as well give up the fight, because, it seems MTW has a magnet for indifference civil servants

    Mr. Symmonds

    SIR, please read the below pdf, and if you still feel that my agitation has become unduly confrontational, I will keep quiet, and let the Civil Servants at MTW/ Drainage Unit continue to showed indifference to the plight of The poor Black Residents of Clarke’s Road St. James, that you failed to represent in the past.

    Not a word on behalf of the Poor Black Residents to the Minister of Transport, Works and Maintenance. 2023 will come.

    @ Mr Alden Blackman

    “…the die is cast and the gauntlet dropped…”

    In short, we the People can expect that the BLP REGIME is going to close ranks and not even meet with you.

    In fact, you can be assured that Kerrie Oblong head is now so vexed with your scvunt that dem now looking into other ways to get back AT YOUR BIG MOUT SELF !!!

    That is the way “we small doggie men does operate” we kick you in the stones for publicly saying that them dumping garbage on your front step, IS AGAINST THE LAW.

    You should expect that the Police will come with a search warrant for your house on a suspicion of drugs or you having an illegal weapon.

    And expect that your subsequent case in the Barbados ABOVE-the-LAW Courts, will be heard in record time while you, a black man, no pun intended, will be incarcerated, like the 56 year old blackman get lock up, while Charles Herbert free and up in Miami tanning!!!

    It is dishonest for officials to act as if a problem that existed for more than a decade and was well ventilated over the the years is a new problem. But going around in circles is one way of frustrating victims.

    Mr Blackman and watchman need to get all who are affected to make a strong and loud stance and have a single voice. It would not surprise me if some of those who are silent are speaking with two mouths and frustrating their own cause. Get all on record, be it by a signed petition or a march.

    The election results of 2019 may have made Mr Symmonds stone deaf to your cries and unfeeling of your pain.

    “…Mr Blackman and watchman need to get all who are affected to make a strong and loud stance and have a single voice.

    Mr Blackman, you received a letter from KS aHE DISsking you to be a “little less confrontational” and this would make it easier for people to”work towards resolving your case”.

    There is a story of the McIntoshes who took a bank to the court. I would bet they played by all the rules and said all the right phrases: “Your honor”, “Yes sir”, “No Sir”, “Yes Maam”, “your Highness” …. and in spite of their accommodating manners and winning the case, they received the big screw. Their champagne is still on ice.

    So don’t hold back your tongue. You will be screwed any way that you turn. However, have some consolation that their journey began around the same time that yours did (2004). Surely, there is some consolation that it is not personal, you just happened to live in the wrong place (right next to a rich woman)
