Residents’ call to FLOW

Article by Tre Greaves

Residents of Atlantic Shores in Christ Church are sending a clear signal to FLOW. They want the telecommunications company’s equipment to be removed from the face of Gordon’s Lighthouse.

According to them, the grey antennas, that were recently installed have “defaced” the historical landmark, which they stressed had huge earning potential.

Their protest, which began online, led to a meeting last weekend with Minister of Maritime Affairs and the Blue Economy Kirk Humphrey, Christ Church South Member of Parliament Ralph Thorne, and officials from the Barbados Port Inc. (BPI), which has responsibility for the lighthouse.

As a follow-up, there will be a meeting tomorrow with these officials and FLOW personnel at the port to discuss the matter. It will be attended by chairperson of the BPI, Senator Lisa Cummins. (TG)
