Ministry of Infrastructure clears the air: The clearing of sand from the mouth of the Anse La Raye River “normal and legal”

The Ministry of Infrastructure, Ports, Energy and Labour wishes to confirm that a “Sand Permit” was approved and issued for the clearing of sand from the mouth of the Anse La Raye River, which has been permanently blocked. The permit was granted by the Office of the Chief Engineer on May 12, 2020 following review of a request received on May 11, 2020 for removal of the sand from the river mouth in an effort to drain the stagnated water from around the Anse La Raye Playing Field.

Infrastructure Minister Stephenson King

Permit NO.2 of 05/2020 (Anse La Raye River) was valid for five (5) working days Friday May 22th and Monday May 25th to Thursday May 28th, 2020.
