The public is advised that new signage has been installed along Braggs Hill, St. Joseph, to improve road safety in the area. The giveaway sign, with a red arrow pointing up and a black arrow pointing down, informs motorists to yield to oncoming traffic, especially in cases where the road narrows or a lane is closed. In a release, the Ministry of Transport and Works states in this instance, the give way sign at Braggs Hill instructs motorists travelling downhill to give way to traffic travelling uphill, which means traffic coming uphill has the right away. Road users are urged to drive with caution and follow the instructions of the new signs.

An Anglican cleric believes Barbados has become a nation of complainers. Senator Reverend Charles Morris says citizens should be thankful when they look back and see the Lord has delivered them from difficult times. He compared Barbadians’ behaviour after the passage of Hurricane Beryl to others in countries hardest hit, as an example. Reverend Morris was delivering a sermon at the St. Peter Parish Church. He also made his thoughts known about Government’s new policy on vehicle tints. The Reverend believes motorists should remove the dark tint, as he says it’s one method to prevent certain crimes.

Barbadians have been given a chance to comment on legislation being brought to deal with overgrown lots before it becomes final. This is according to Home Affairs Minister Wilfred Abrahams, who was speaking during a BLP St. George North meeting last evening. The amendments to the Health Services Bill, which would see the owners of unkempt lots being fined an administrative penalty on their Land Tax Bill, were brought before Parliament in July. The Bill and draft Regulations were then sent before a standing select committee for further consideration. Mr. Abrahams is urging Barbadians to take preparations for the hurricane season seriously, as he notes the impacts of climate events have been intensifying. He says many flooding issues are caused by illegal dumping.
