Glenroy Blanchette warns building new BHS on aquifer will risk valuable water source, cause flooding
BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, JULY 24TH 2017 – East Basseterre resident, Mr. Glenroy Blanchette said Monday he is troubled by the decision of the Timothy Harris-led Team Unity Government to build a new Basseterre High School (BHS) on the Basseterre Valley Aquifer.
“The risks to life and property are too great. This is the right time for the government to adopt the precautionary principle and do not build on the Aquifer. To do otherwise will create untold hardship for present and future generations. A word to the wise is enough,” warned Blanchette, a lecturer at the Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College (CFBC).
