Member of Parliament for Christ Church South Ralph Thorne will be putting pressure on the Barbados Water Authority to quickly rectify the sewage issues affecting Worthing Beach.
Thorne was speaking to the media on Thursday at St Lawrence Primary School when he disclosed that several businesses in the surrounding area were struggling due to the closure of the beach five months ago.
“The problem in the constituency now would be the restaurateurs and the hoteliers who are on Worthing Beach. As you know, the beach has been closed for a while,” Thorne said.
“They are enduring periods of severe anxiety because if they don’t have a beach, the value of their operation drops remarkably. So we are pressing the Barbados Water Authority and the minister to give us some idea as to when the beach will be reopened,” he said. (AD)
