More illegal dump sites are cropping up and Government will be taking a hard line stance against the perpetrators and even the owners of the items.
This has come from public relations officer with the Sanitation Service Authority (SSA), Carl Padmore, who was speaking in the wake of the recent discovery of another illegal dump site in an open lot at Charnocks, Christ Church.
“We believe that enforcement is very much on the cards because Barbados cannot hold any more dump sites,” he said.
Padmore’s comments came in the wake of one by the Deputy Chief Technical Officer in the Ministry of Transport, Works and Maintenance, Philip Tudor, who said the illegal dumping of large items in watercourses and gullies contributed to flooding during heavy rain events like the passage of Tropical Storm Kirk last week.
