Gov. Lack of control sends the wrong message…
This picture tells the story of residents on St. Maarten, either not knowledgeable of the polices government has in place for the proper disposing of their household waste or they get the message that at any time and whenever they please they are allowed to throw their garbage out to the side of the road even if it’s in the Philipsburg Capital. One resident on back street who sent cmoorejournal.com these pictures claims that almost on a daily basis this is what it looks like in the front of her home on Back Street in Philipsburg.
Another area of inconsistent practices noticed by commuters, and are displayed; when during school hours the police would station officers in the congested L.B. Scot Road where most of the schools are and the area is also densely populated. They seem to find it difficult to consistently provide the service of assisting the smooth flow of traffic which helps to solve the frustration of traffic congestion and at the same time it would demonstrate they are about controlling these areas for good order sake.
Its either the Government is prepared to consistently and structurally manage and control traffic rules; give proper guidance on waste disposals and be reliable when enforcing these rules and regulations, or the public will always get the wrong message that they can do what they want since there are no proper enforcement and penalties to stop them.
