Senator Irene?Sandiford-Garner has urged the owners of Walkers Sand Quarry project to give back something to the parish of St Andrew that has contributed so much to them.
Sandiford-Garner made that call on Wednesday night at a town hall meeting at the Alleyne School in Belleplaine to discuss an environmental impact study related to Phase 4 of the Walkers Sand Quarry project.
Speaking before a panel of town planning and environmental consultants, Sandiford-Garner, the Democratic Labour Party (DLP)?candidate for the St Andrew constituency, said Walkers Sand Quarry owners had come up short in making a mark in the community that had served them well.
