Sagicor Razor Wire Barrier Sparks Enforcement Notice from Development Control Authority

1. People and businesses need to protect their interest at all cost. They need more razor wiring, especially around schools

2. What of the deplorable state of the nation’s roadways, lack of pedestrian spaces? What about all of those utility poles with rusty staples? I personally know of someone who had to get a tetanus vaccine from coming into contact with one. And why is the PM concerning himself with such trivial matters when the crime rate is on the increase?

   Sagicor is an upstanding corporate citizen, many do not know how much they have contributed to Antigua’s economy, and the one and only instance this corporate entity decides to protect their property during Carnival this is the response? Thank God this world is not my home, I’m just passing through.

3. My grandfather, Magistrate Samuel Lauchland Athill, once opined, “The law is an ass.” Thank you, DCA, for vindicating his wisdom.
   May I ask, did you, DCA, approve the extremely life-threatening devices installed atop the high wall fence of the Chinese Embassy? Just asking.

4. Seems Luke the government and the criminals are in business together.

   The government has failed to protect businesses. Now businesses are the doing what they can in their own interest. The government is against the business.

5. When DCA works we complain…..when they don’t work, we complain. What does the DCA have to do with the “deplorable state of the nation’s roadways or the utility poles with rusty staples”?

   And how is the PM concerning himself when it was DCA that sent out the notice?

6. Bravo to the DCA, it can’t be that these capitalist global corporation can play football with our government institutions without redress, the DCA in other countries has way more authority than what obtains here. In other countries the DCA is who does inspection of houses for electrical service installation and should never be the monopoly power supply APUA, which is an anomaly. Even the poles that APUA plants is subjected to DCA approval in other countries, and don’t talk about those vertical roads cut on hillside like sugar ridge hotel and other new areas that is just repeating the potential accident that usually happen on that road that descend from Scotts hill into potters where many lives has been lost, the newly surveyed land plots cut up in squares instead of a diagonal trim at the corner to avoid blind sighting drivers and impeding the ability to turn those corners with small or large vehicles. The DCA should be staff with engineers who will do electrical design plans for APUA on new development and load consumption projections since they know lands allocation ahead of anyone. The street lighting for the public is usually under the DCA portfolio, but I want to see DCA get those surveyors who do those awful plot design plan especially up hill vertically when it should ascend in a spiral or snake like format and alleviate the steep descend, so retirees can drive home easily as they age and prevent that endangerment of a truck running into someone home. Bravo! Bravo DCA for doing your job and don’t be afraid to do it to all who offend the regulations, don’t tip toe around PLH and the Chinese embassy, only our prison should possess electric fence that is over exaggerated diplomatic B.S.

7. Ok in the first place what u doing on the ppl them fenced. For you to be damaged by those wired you have to be trespassing forcefully to get on the ppl them property .For carnival you suppose to be in control of yourself. What u doing on the fence trying to cross over.to be caught doing that is breaking the law. PRIVATE property.

8. ONE DAY TO BE COMPLIANT….? WRONG LIKE ‘…H-E-L-L’

   QUESTION

   (i) ‘…Would the ‘DCA’ provide the Law that states or prohibits ‘…Property Owners,’from installing ‘…SECURITY MEASURES,’ or one that prevents property owners from so doing?:

   (ii) …Is the ‘DCA’ positioned or resourced in ‘…PROTECTING’ property owners safe from

   (a) ‘…INTRUDERS:

   (b) …THIEVES: AND

   (c) …ROBBERS:’ or from:

   (d)’…RECKLESS REVELLERS: or

   (e) …UNSAVORY OR RISKY BEHAVIOR OF LAWLESS: …RUTHLESS: and …MALICIOUS CITIZENS?’

   AUTHORITATIVE KNOWLEDGE – DCA WRONG LIKE HELL

   Should this news story be correctly published, this commenter could state with ‘…Authoritative Knowledge,’ the ‘…ONE-DAY COMPLIANCE WITHENFORCEMENT NOTICE,’ appears ‘…WRONG LIKE H-E-L-L.

   BOLDFACE SAID SOMETHING LONG AGO.

   Tried to reach him, but no answer.

   CERTAINLY, IT WAS NOT ‘…DUNDO HEAD’ (Commenter himself don’t even know what the hell this means).

   THE LAW

   Given the ‘LAW’ itself: ONLY A ‘…DUNDO HEAD’ will not comprehend.

   Guided by the ‘…Physical Planning Act,’ this was that which ‘PARLIAMENT’ meant and intended:

   ‘If any person on whom an ‘Enforcement Notice’ is:

   (a) ‘…Served:
   (b) …Aggrieved by the ‘…Enforcement Notice:
   (c) …That person may at ‘…ANY TIME WITHIN 28-DAYS:
   (d) …Appeal against the ‘…Enforcement Notice:
   (e) …Under Section 69’ [Physical Planning Act: No. 6 of 2003: Section 40].

   RIGHT OF APPEAL – PEANUT BRAIN ENFORCERS

   Those that made this ‘Law’ seemingly had ‘…SENSE.’ Conversely, the same could be said that those that might be asked to ‘ENFORCE’ it, may have ‘…PEANUT BRAIN.’

   The ‘ACT’ states:

   (i) ‘…Any applicant: or

   (ii) …Person other than the applicant, whose interest in ‘LAND,’ may be affected by the
   decision of the ‘Authority (DCA),’ if dissatisfied by the decision: may

   (iii) …May Appeal to the ‘…APPEAL’S TRIBUNAL’ [Section 69 (i)].

   POWER OF TRIBUNAL

   The ‘…TRIBUNAL’ shall, in its ‘DISCRETION,’ …DIRECT’ whether the ‘APPEAL’ shall be dealt with by:

   (a) ‘…Public Inquiry: or
   (b) …By Written Representation: and
   (c) …Within 28-Days of the ‘..NOTICE OF APPEAL:
   (d) …NOTIFY THE APPELLANT AND THE AUTHORITY (DCA), ACCORDINGLY’ [PPA: No.6 of
   2003: Section 69].

   KEY QUESTION

   How can the ‘…Authority’ justify the ‘…ONE-DAY ENFORCEMENT NOTICE OF COMPLIANCE?’
   [Section 69 (8)].

   APPEAL BOARD: IF SO ESTABLISHED….? (SAGICOR WILL CHECK OUT)

   (i) ‘…Chairman- Attorney-at-law:
   (ii) …A Civil Engineer or Architect or Town and Country Planner (Other than the person so
   appointed to manage the DCA):
   (iii) …Two persons with knowledge and experience of matters relevant to the ‘ACT:’ and
   (iv) …One person with knowldge of environmantal matters’ [ Section 68 (2)].

   MOST IMPORTANT SECTION- 82

   The ‘…Most Important Section’ states: ‘…This ‘Act’ Binds the Crown.’

   Simple meaning, whomever shall ‘…Enforce’ any of the ‘…Provisions or Regulations,’ and particularly, ‘NOTICES,’ him/her ‘…SHALL BE COMPLIANT,’ as the citizenry [Section 82].

   This information is provided ‘G-R-A-T-I-S’ to:

   (i) ‘…SAGICOR: and

   (ii) …ALL PROPERTY OWNERS/DEVELOPERS.

   LET NO ‘DUNDO HEAD’ FOOL OR ABUSE YOU.’
