Castries Mayor Geraldine Lendor-Gabriel has called on the local private sector to invest in security cameras to help in the battle against crime.

“If I had anything to say to the private sector, I would tell them that they have to invest in cameras and surveillance equipment,” the Major told St Lucia Times.

“It must be done because it is the only way that we can capture the information that we need and monitor the City on a twenty-four hour basis,” Landor-Gabriel stated.

She indicated that the battle against crime is not the sole responsibility of the police.

And regarding investing in surveillance equipment, the Major asserted that the expense would be lower than the loss incurred due to a break-in.

“Sometimes damage to a door is much more costly than what it takes to install a camera. In fact we have been speaking to our vendors about investing in small cameras on their facilities,” Lendor-Gabriel disclosed.

She made the remarks while acknowledging a gift of nine bulletproof vests from Blue Waters St. Lucia Ltd to the City Police.

The Mayor said the Castries Constituency Council (CCC) was reaching out to the local private sector to partner in making the Saint Lucia capital a safer place.

More bad weather is making its way off the coast of Africa today.

The first one is about 1,000 miles east of the Leeward Islands and is causing disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity.

While it moves west-northwestward across the central subtropical Atlantic, it may turn into a tropical storm.

However, there is only a 30 per cent chance of this happening over the next five days.

In the event that it forms into a tropical storm next week, the expectation is that it may be a short-lived tropical storm.

A second system is in the Eastern Tropical Atlantic, where a tropical wave is located several hundred miles south of the Cabo Verde Islands.

This is also producing a disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms.

Predictions are that this will move westward or west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic through the middle of next week.

The chance of formation through the next five days is low, at 20 per cent.

Finally, another tropical wave is forecasted to move off the coast of Africa by early next week.

The National Hurricane Center expects this to move westward, over the far eastern Atlantic.

The chance of formation through the next five days is low, at 20 per cent.

Remaining names of storms for the hurricane season

If any of these systems do develop further, the next named Atlantic storm will be Fiona. Gaston, Hermine, Ian and Julia may follow.
