Black Immigrant Daily News

The Urban Development Corporation (UDC) says it is aware of the concerns being raised by protesters regarding the closure of a section of the Belmont Property in St Ann, commonly known as Little Dunn’s River.

“The UDC wishes to remind the public that while the property falls within the remit of the Corporation, Little Dunn’s River is not operated as a licensed beach as the premises lack basic sanitary conveniences, has no insurance coverage or other requisite permits in place,” a release from the organisation outlined.

The Corporation has publicly stated same from as far back as 2013.

The UDC said the incident in which a member of the public was killed close to the facility has also added to the issue.

Reports are that a 25-year-old man identified as Roshane Housen otherwise called Bredda was shot and killed in late August near the beach.

“Further to the tragic incident in August, in which a member of the public was murdered, the UDC again closed the property and introduced security on site.

Persons are encouraged to cooperate with the UDC on this matter towards the health and safety of the general public,” the release said.
