Civic minded Barbadians should be informed about the Draft Physical Development Plan (August 2023).
In the context of the ongoing Savvy on the Beach saga – see blog Savvy Saga – it would be a constructive exercise for the public to be conversant about what government has planned for Bridgetown and its environs. The authoritative landing place is the Barbados Draft Physical Development Plan (August 2023).
Here is a link to the Bridgetown Community Plan designed to be read with the Physical Development Plan Amended (2022) policies. A Bay Street read starts at p.6-59.
See Government Information Service portal to access complete Barbados Draft Physical Development Plan (August 2023) files.

6 billion dollar PLUS deficit must be plugged..somehow.
Is . . . Trying to rivel Oprah or Rhianna
I don’t want to misquote the PM, but I thought that she floated the possibility of developing the area in the vicinity of the Drill Hall for possible tourism expansion. If that is undertaken, it would mean that the military personnel in that area would have to be relocated. A new HQ for the BFS is being constructed, can a new military HQ be far behind?
Another shooting.

He didn’t say a thing lol
As he probably shouldn’t.
The challenge, not unlike the other land acquisition down the street, is the owner by reputation invokes much silence. I don’t know what the history is, but several seem to be invoking the ole Bajan “it en got nuttin to do wid me” line. And many are ‘unexpectedly’ so.
The information coming out in dribs and drabs, makes many suspect there is more to the story, and so, give it time. On this I concur.
The PM effectively took away all leverage, with her statement.
It is about what Mottley wants take it or leave it?
This is probably a case of a ‘player’ getting caught out.
On the former, “others” may be close to this file
On the latter, that is one common perception.
