JVD Action Committee brings 'breath of fresh air' to island
Speaking with this news site, Chairman of the Committee, Mr Gregory A. Callwood related that the group cleaned an area named Batson Bay in Little Harbour.
Over 20 persons, including committee members as well as residents of JVD, turned out for the clean-up efforts that started from 8 A.M. and continued until 4 P.M.
The chairman disclosed that chainsaws were among the tools the group employed to execute their duties before taking the accumulated debris to a local dump in the area to be disposed of. Derelict vehicles were also removed from the Batson Bay area with the use of backhoe's and trucks.
He indicated that residents and tourists on the island “have a breath of fresh air” now that the committee has started work in the area.
Callwood also disclosed that the Committee remains in constant contact with Second District Representative, Hon. J Alvin Christopher, who has indicated that he will be assisting with the construction of the committee’s headquarters in JVD out of his personal funds.
“Hon. Christopher is going to assist us with this building… we would have this building for [the committee] to meet or if there is any public meeting on the island, we would be able to use this building,” Callwood said. Efforts to reach Hon. Christopher for comments proved unsuccessful.
He also disclosed that committee members assisted teachers at the newly constructed section of the school in JVD to move desks and chairs to the new classrooms last Thursday.
The JVD Action Committee was officially formed on March 17, 2013.

As if the #$%^er isn't doing this for his own personal gain. The locals messed it up, i don't see why they should get recognition for cleaning up their own mess....
