Brown's Town bus park losing thousands of dollars
published: Tuesday | August 26, 2003

THE BROWN'S Town municipal bus park in St. Ann is losing thousands of dollars monthly, but St. Ann's Bay Mayor, Councillor Delroy Giscombe, is formulating a plan he hopes will both stop the financial haemorrhage and allow for the facility to be properly utilised.

The park lost over $3,000 in May, and Mayor Giscombe disclosed in a statement today that much of the ongoing loss was accumulated by huge garbage clean-up bills.

He says the excessive garbage results from too much illegal selling at the bus park, which is also being used as a prime illegal municipal garbage dump.

Furthermore, the mayor pointed out, the bus park was neither properly fenced, nor its entrance/exit adequately secured and monitored ­ situations he plans to amend shortly.

Mayor Giscombe describes the Brown's Town bus park as "a viable proposition ­ but it is too small, and under no control whatsoever."
