Freeport, Grand Bahama -
Fox Hill MP Fred Mitchell has called on the representative for High
Rock Ken Russell to cause the government to invest in infrastructure
for Smith’s Point, the native settlement just outside of Freeport. Mr.
Mitchell said that the infrastructure to support the tourism trade in
Smith's Point has been neglected by the FNM government because the
people in Smith Point are PLP voters. He said they should not be
victimized because they are PLPs. Mr. Mitchell said that he was
advised that each week some 500 people who are tourists visit the
Smith's Point Fish Fry and that a sea wall needed to be constructed.
He said that some 250 pounds of snapper are sold there every week, some
100 pounds of crawfish, yet the Ministry of Tourism does not supply the
necessary support for the Smith Point enterprise. Mr. Mitchell urged
the government to act to help the Smith Point community survive. He
was speaking at the rally held by the PLP on Thursday 25th March in
Freeport.
