Gov't promises upgrade of several public beaches

Prime Minister Andrew Holness
 
Prime Minister Andrew Holness says the government will be upgrading a number of public beaches across Jamaica.
 
Among them is the Fantasy Beach Park in Priory, St. Ann which Mr. Holness said will be developed similarly to Harmony Beach Park in Montego Bay, St. James.
 
Another nine free community beaches in Hanover, St. Mary, Portland, St. Thomas, Manchester and St. Elizabeth will be also upgraded this year. 
 
Beyond the 2024/25 fiscal year, Mr. Holness promised the development of the Boston Beach Park in Portland as well as a major beach park in Negril.
 
The Prime Minister said the Beach Access and Management Policy is complete and will be tabled at the next sitting of the House. 
 
The policy, he said, seeks to ensure Jamaica’s beaches are preserved, and sustainably managed for present and future generations of Jamaicans and visitors alike to have access. 
 
Mr. Holness was delivering his contribution to the Budget Debate in the House of Representatives on Thursday.
