Lagoon Park

Keeping An Eye on C & N Port Louis Marina 2012

July 16, 2013

As usual, Citizens in Defence of Grenada’s Lands and Heritage continues to monitor the performance and developments of the Camper and Nicholson Port Louis Marina, given that a significant national asset, the Lagoon, is under its control and the Company has also laid claim to the Lagoon Park. We are still seeking answers. Where is the Original Deed of Release of October 5th, 2006 which facilitated the transfer of the people’s property for EC$1.00 to Ambassador Peter De Savary’s Port Louis but was not recorded country’s Deeds and Lands Registry?

Prime Minister, that the declarations of Camper and Nicholson are in conflict with the commitments made by yourself in respect of the Lagoon Park and the rights of traditional users.
