Xmas lights along Waterfront Drive vandalised
Director at Caribbean Insurers Limited (CIL) Simone T. Monsanto told this news site yesterday December 5, 2015 that vandals have cut some of the decorative lighting placed along parts of Waterfront Drive just the night before.
The colourful and decorative lights were placed on the foliage along the sidewalk of Water Front Drive. It was planned that both sides of the entire stretch would have been completed by tomorrow December 7, 2015 following which the media would have been invited to a brief launch ceremony.
Speaking to this news site, Monsanto said that it was clear that the lights had been vandalised.
“Someone cut the lights after we put them up last night... And we have not even finished all of the areas,” she said.
She explained that a lot of sponsors came on board for the purchasing of the lights.
“It’s Caribbean Insurers Limited and kind business owners doing the venture and it’s not even finished as yet and already been vandalised,” said Monsanto, noting that such activities discourage community work.
She said that they were in the process of making a police report regarding the incident.
The sponsors for the lights are Auto Sales and Parts Ltd., One Stop Mall, CIL, Conch Charters Ltd., Conyers Dill and Permanent, Creque’s Insurance Agency Ltd., Digicel BVI, Mossack Fonseca and Co (BVI) Ltd., National Bank of the Virgin Islands Ltd., O’Neal Webster, Quami’s Sewing and Design, Scotiabank BVI, The Unique Flower Shop, Tortola Concrete Ltd., and VP Bank (BVI) Ltd.
