AFTER WEEKS of renovations, Macqueripe Beach is now ready to reopen to the public.
Minister of Planning Camille Robinson-Regis made the announcement on Wednesday after inspecting work done at the beach.
“I came to just make sure that we were ready and the general manager (of the Chaguaramas Development Authority) did ask me if I felt comfortable enough that we can open for tomorrow, and I do.”

CDA must do better

THE EDITOR: Over the weekend, I was reduced to a state of utter disgust and disappointment, having experienced first-hand, the barring of eco-tourism enthusiasts from enjoying the wonderful beauty of the western peninsula at the Bamboo Cathedral by the Chaguaramas Development Authority (CDA).
To the surprise of hundreds who have become accustomed to weekly outings at the popular trail, parking for families at the entrance and at the side of the roadway has been prohibited by the CDA and people were instructed to park about one kilometre away, at the Macqueripe Beach Facility car park, at a cost of $20 per carload.
