Preliminary exploration of the cave on the grounds of the offices of the Eastern Caribbean Conference of Seventh Day Adventist Churches in Britton’s Hill has revealed that it looks isolated and should not pose a threat.
Government’s chief geologist André Brathwaite of the energy and natural resources department said today there was still a need for continued testing to make sure of this.
“It seems to be isolated however with further probing we can determine the extent [of the cave] or whether there is a danger at that location. We are still in the preliminary stage but, so far, it does not look bad and there should be no grave danger to the church [however] heavy rainfall could destabilize the immediate area,” he said in a telephone interview.
