According to reports, the people took their protest to Concord, where several trees are being cut down.<\/p>\n<p>They claim that although $250,000 were made available by Government to the Carib Council, no work has started after several months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernment gave the Carib Council money to give us our playing field so long and maybe they drink the money because no playing field,\u201d one angry protester told Dominica News Online via telephone.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>No fault of Carib Council<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>But Carib Chief Garnet Joseph said the delay is not the Carib Council&#8217;s fault.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have had several delays that were not on our part. If it were left up to us, that playing field would have been started since October last year,&#8221; Joseph noted.<\/p>\n<p>He said the ministry responsible informed the Carib Council through letter that they had to work with an engineer. The delay was also caused when residents whose land had to be used for the playing field consulted with lawyers on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We had difficulties contracting someone so the work was passed on to the engineer that is attached to the Carib Territory. The design was presented to us, but more land was required for the playing field. \u00a0We spoke to the residents of the area, whose land was joined with the area designated to the playing field. They decided that they didn\u2019t want to hand over the land until we used our powers. The owners of the land went to lawyers and that took some time; that slowed down the process,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>According to Joseph, while persons have the right to protest, it will not get the desired results that the protesters want because the matter is out of the Carib Council&#8217;s hands.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph said up until last week, discussions were held in that regard with the engineers, but certain things must be put in place.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Unfortunate situation<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, after several hours of negotiations, a consensus was met and villagers were told to expect work to commence in two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Parliamentary Representative Ashton Graneau has described the situation as unfortunate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were asking for two weeks duration, but we were asking for three weeks. Eventually we agreed that we would get something going in two weeks. We will get the contractors to agree on a time to start the work,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>While the Carib Council was given the monies, they stumbled upon several hurdles, according to Graneau.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt stemmed from land ownership to the plan having to be done again. I am just happy that matter was resolved,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By DNO Correspondent A matter which led to a massive demonstration in the Carib Territory on Monday morning has been resolved.
