The expansion of the Wallblake Airport was heralded by the government of Anguilla and indeed the affluent jet setting tourists are a welcome addition to Anguilla. Corito was sacrificed but the government had set in motion a plan for the redevelopment of the area. They were planning on relocating the major wharf from Sandy Ground to Corito but the financial cost continues to be insurmountable, hence the move is not in the foreseeable future.

Dear Sir,
BACK TO WELL WATER
I am writing to The Anguillan in hopes that there was an error made in the news item of 13 June concerning the distribution of water. The article quotes Mr. Larry Franklin as stating that,“…Unaccounted For Water (UFW) was about 70% of water purchased…” and that “…theft of water [is] estimated at 50% of the total water purchased.”

Last August when the Government of Anguilla declared Thursday 16 August a day of mourning repentance and prayer and organized a rally against violence in Anguilla, I wanted more than a public relations exercise that would make everyone feel good. I wanted action on recommendations long made in a number of reports. I wanted outreach programmes to get right to the young people who are not attracted to meetings in cold concrete rooms.
