Baughers Bay Wharf an eye-sore, Hon Maduro-Caines; ‘clean up or else!’
A visit to the area reveals tons of garbage laying waste on the dock, bottles, cans, debris and old cars, as well as old boats–some even half sunk.
It is indeed the conditions that one will find in an underdeveloped county.
It was on August 14, 2018, in the House of Assembly (HoA), that the Sixth District Representative, Honourable Alvera Maduro-Caines, spoke on the issue.
The second Term Legislator warned residents she is ready to take action against persons who do not remove those items.
Ms Maduro-Caines noted that she has gotten to the point of action because all her warnings have failed.
Clean up or else- Hon Maduro Caines
She told HoA members, “I am making means to finish the project on the Baughers Bay Fisherman’s Wharf… I have sent out three notices for persons to remove trailers, old boats, containers on that strip of land adjacent to the Fisherman’s Wharf… I am going to make my final appeal, get with the departments to put stickers on these items that are there that are holding back the progress of getting that Fisherman’s Wharf sorted out” she said in her normally soft tone.
Hon Maduro-Caines noted that this is her “final warning” to residents before she takes action, as she has tried repeatedly without success.
However, even if the area is cleared up, it is unclear how much money was allocated to finish the Fisher folks Baughers Bay project and when it is expected to start.
Political history
Hon Maduro-Caines was first elected to the Legislature in 2011, defeating the late Councilman Honourable Omar W. Hodge.

In the 2018/19 elections, she will face former Acting Permanent Secretary, John Samuel, from the Opposition VIP.

This area has been a mess all your two terms in office. So you are telling us only now August 2018 you're seeing this?
hurricanes. Some of us need to
Investigate before talk. Don't just talk negative because you don't like the person. We must learn to give Jack his jacket. Can she do everything that needs to be done in her district for the time she has been in? Not even the rep before could attend to all the problems and he was there for 32 years. This lady is doing her best with what she has and is doing better than a lot of other reps.
Problem.
