THREE YEARS INTO A PROTEST against plans to set up a breakwater off Sandy Lane beach, St James, activist and surfing instructor Samuel Inniss is still standing firm on his position.
He continued his objection to the proposed beach regeneration project yesterday, when a group of six, including Inniss, marched with placards from the area of Holetown Police Station to Sandy Lane beach.
Inniss is charging that the proposal to have a barrier built out into the sea to protect the coast from the force of waves will eventually contribute to damage of the existing reef and lead to erosion of the neighbouring Paynes Bay beach.
He said he heard the project would take effect in September. (TKS)
