Is The Community Asleep?

The above question is not to be taken lightly. The fact is that our community appears to be changing rapidly and the spirit of self-help and civic responsibility may be disappearing. There is a need for the jollification days of old to return when everyone helped each other and worked together for the common good of the island. One only has to take a look at the overgrowth which is closing in on some of our village roads following the recent rains to see how absent is the community spirit. Nobody in the neighbourhoods seems willing either individually or collectively to trim the trees or remove litter rather than waiting on the public services to do everything.
