No go-ahead from the Port

THE BARBADOS PORT AUTHORITY has accused Rock Hard Cement Limited (RHCL) of committing several contractual breaches, including the controversial erection of a building structure at the Flour Mill site off Spring Garden Highway.

The Port Authority, owners of Lot 3 and Lot 7, being leased by the cement company, also disclosed it had received several complaints regarding the firm’s operation, including health concerns from next door ADM Barbados Mill Limited, producers of flour, and the Barbados Coast Guard, whose headquarters are just a few yards away.

“The Port has never been written to by RHCL requesting prior consent to any proposed construction nor has the Port been shown approved planning and other agencies approval in order to commence work,” it said in a letter dated June 7, and sent to chairman Mark Maloney.
