Road Town waterfront car dump eyesore being cleaned up
Most of them, especially those that were looted of gas, wheels, batteries, car seats, and other parts, were placed on the waterfront in Road Town on the main island of Tortola, among other areas.
The site in the capital city had become an eyesore and Government had warned owners to remove their cars or else they would be removed by the Crown.
Well, at least those on the waterfront were today November 12, 2017 removed by a private company hired by the Government.
The automobiles of all kinds, new, used, and old, are to be taken to a leased land at Pockwood Pond on the western side of Tortola where they will be crushed with donated equipment, according to someone familiar with the process.
There were also some heavy equipment that were damaged as a result of the killer storms; however, it’s unclear how they will be dealt with.
Car dealers smiling this Christmas
Car dealers in the Virgin Islands can also expect a good Christmas 2017 with an expected increase sale of new and used cars. There have also been an increase in car rentals, as many rental companies have benefited from the destruction of private, government and other vehicles.
It’s unclear how the damaged vehicles that have been placed in pockets of areas on the sister islands, as well as government owned automobiles deemed unusable (written-off), will be addressed.
