May 7, 2021 Wayne Pollard It seems a lot of Belizeans on stay-cation have discovered the beauty of Gracie Rock for weekend river outings. But all these visitors have brought new problems to the community. The village will be holding a clean-up this Saturday. News Five spoke with Chairman Wayne Pollard today.
Wayne Pollard, Chairman, Gracie Rock “It’s visitors to the community – people who come to enjoy the river but they leave their garbage and that is the situation. All the crowd who used to go to Chetumal is now coming to Gracie Rock so our beaches are packed every Saturday and Sunday and holidays; you can’t even find parking at times; that is the amount of crowd – so think about the volume of garbage left behind.
