Vehicular access blocked to rear of Crafts Alive Village
The blockade is made up of a chain affixed to a padlock and post which extends across the pathway that runs alongside the back of Maria’s by the Sea and the Crafts Alive Village.
The blockade which was erected earlier this week comes on the heels of fencing work being erected around the adjacent Wickhams Cay where the landside development for the Cruise Ship pier project is to be executed.
The reason for the blockade remains unclear at this time but vendors reported that they were told previously that the passage would not be blocked as it was a convenient pathway to allow vehicles to access the Crafts Alive Village from the rear.
Attempts to contact City Manager Janice Brathwaite-Edwards for comment on the issue proved unsuccessful up to post time.

Bye = as in 'good bye'

No place was left in the parking areas for unloading supplies or for the ambulance or fire vehicles should an emergency arise. As BVI citizen and residents we are extremely complacent. If we don,t stand up and protest when we see a wrong, very soon all our freedoms will be taken away, and we will exist in a total dictatorship where we have no say. Others will determine what we can say, where we can go and very soon there will be just the Haves and the Have Not.
The strength of these British Virgin Islands were unlike that of the other islands. We owned the majority of land and had some level of self determination. Everything has a price, and we must pay close attention before it to late.
Maria has access to her establishment. does Maria by the Sea has the right to control both her property and the Crown Land? Does the Ministerof Communication and Works have the right to dictate that Bvilanders must climb under a chain link that has been erected to accommodate Maria by the sea and that residents the elderly included must bend and go under or must take their arthritic bones and struggle to climb over? Maria boundary is fenced with a solid wall. We were under the impression that no one owns the sea or the access to it. From all appearances, the sea and the land adjacent to it belongs to the Crown and as such everyone should have access, but should be considerate to each other. Perhaps the esteemed Minister should return to The island of his birth and try some of the tatics that he has overtly or overtly used here in the BVI and let us see how far he gets.
