Dear Editor,<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Every day after 5pm, I go home refresh and drive up to the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium to exercise and refresh my soul from a long day\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

By that time the evening with its darkness has arrived.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I\u2019ve noticed for a few years now the lights around the stadium have been blown and not been replaced.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

There are a good number of persons like myself who walks at the stadium nightly.<\/p>\n

The Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium as far as I know is a National Monument and the good gentleman is a national hero. Considering the above it begs a couple questions.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Why are the light bulbs on the surroundings of the Stadium not replaced?<\/li>\n
  2. Are the bulbs pricey hence people\u2019s safety is put at risk on a nightly basis?<\/li>\n
  3. Who is responsible for the maintenance of the stadium?<\/li>\n
  4. Why hasn\u2019t the person\/s who\u2019s responsible for maintenance of the stadium engaged APUA on replacing the bulbs or putting more lights around the stadium?<\/li>\n
  5. What are the elected leaders doing with our tax dollars in this country?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>

    \"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

    I hope this letter will bring attention to the relevant authorities about the seriousness of this issue and lighting will be placed as soon as possible before something very unfortunate happens up there.<\/p>
