NO PLANNING APROVEVAL FOR AIRPORT

Added: 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]Yes.

[00:00:02]Yes, Salisbury and Wesley.

[00:00:05]As you can see, this is where they are constructing the international airport.

[00:00:12]Let me just show you.

[00:00:15]My time on the record for you.

[00:00:23]As I'm going a little closer, let me just see what you can see there.

[00:00:27]That is where they are building the tunnel so that the vehicles could pass under the airstrip.

[00:00:41]Just want to show the world, you know, the project.

[00:00:50]So, we have issues with the project.

[00:00:52]We have issues with the project.

[00:00:56]First of all, the document file for the airport is public information.

[00:01:10]So, you could just go to planning and you could get the documents for the uh um for the airport.

[00:01:17]But, the government did not want it to let go the They were holding the documents back.

[00:01:22]So, they had to take the government to court to get public information.

[00:01:29]So, obviously they win.

[00:01:32]And presently, they have the documents or the file of the airport in their hand presently.

[00:01:41]And we all want an international airport in Dominica.

[00:01:45]Because during festival times, luggage luggage staying behind, and people have to get their luggage three, four, five days after. So, we really need an international airport in Dominica.

[00:01:58]So, when they got the documents or the file of the airport and they go over it, it is sad to say that we all in Dominica want a nature international airport.

[00:02:17]But, it is sad to say that there is no planning approval for this international airport.

[00:02:23]The world is hearing, the world is listening.

[00:02:26]Right? This is a major project or one of the biggest project ever in Dominica.

[00:02:34]And there is no planning approval for this project.

[00:02:40]You understand?

[00:02:44]Planning division, they are not doing their work.

[00:02:51]By right, this project there, we all want an international airport, but this project supposed to stop with immediate effect if planning division doing their work according to the law of Dominica.

[00:03:09]So, planning division, they are not doing their work or they are pick and choose or they are being controlled by the government.

[00:03:18]Because there is no planning approval for this project right now.

[00:03:23]Not one.

[00:03:25]No planning approval.

[00:03:28]And we calling on the planning division, we all in Dominica want the international airport, but this project haven't been approved by planning division.

[00:03:41]So, this is a project that supposed to stop.

[00:03:46]And let us let us construct in the right way.

[00:03:50]We are seeing the result on the apartments in Bell View. We are seeing the result everywhere the Chinese build in Dominica. It's falling apart.

[00:04:01]8 years the people 7 people they enter in the house in Bell View and they just send contract for them to repair the houses.

[00:04:12]And these houses do not deserve repair.

[00:04:14]These houses in in at Bell View is demolished.

[00:04:18]Because it doesn't make sense to go and spend our money to repair a house you suppose or an apartment you suppose to demolish. It doesn't make sense.

[00:04:27]So, as you can see based on the documents on the file for the airport what else they discover is that you see they are building a tunnel so that the the the vehicles would have been passing under and the runway will have been passing above.

[00:04:46]There is no planning approval for this tunnel.

[00:04:50]So, which means no just craziness. The Chinese are just doing whatever they feel like without planning approval. I wonder who give the Chinese power over over planning division.

[00:05:02]And planning is not saying at a word.

[00:05:06]But they will go and stop any wooden structure a Dominican local will trying to patch so that they could rest their head.

[00:05:16]Planning division will go and stop them.

[00:05:18]And right now we have the international airport. The whole world is listening now.

[00:05:23]This international airport you are seeing being built in Dominica by the Chinese. There is no planning approval.

[00:05:30]So, the next step is they are going to take the government to court and the judge will decide.

[00:05:38]The judge will decide like how we decide to release public information the files of the airport.

[00:05:44]It is sad to say my people, we all want an international airport. But we have laws in Dominica.

[00:05:51]Everything supposed to go according to the law of Dominica. So, this project should be over all the house all all the state.

[00:05:59]You know?

[00:06:00]Planning division should be having an oversight of this project. The plan for the project, planning division should approve it and obtain law.

[00:06:15]They haven't approved. Nothing has been done. No planning approval, but the Chinese are working.

[00:06:23]Are we going to Are we going to get the same result like the apartments in Bellevue?

[00:06:28]Are we going to get the same result like the state house?

[00:06:35]So, I'm calling on planning division do not wait for the court to order an instant halt on this project there. Do not wait.

[00:06:46]Please, we want it. We want an international airport. But let us do it the right way.

[00:06:52]Pause for a cause.

[00:06:55]Pause.

[00:06:56]Pause or stop for the right cause.

[00:06:59]Because there is no planning approval.

[00:07:02]No planning approval right here.

[00:07:05]The world is listening. The world is hearing.

[00:07:08]How can that be?

[00:07:10]This is highly impossible. This is madness.

[00:07:14]What is happening is madness in Dominica.

[00:07:18]The world is listening. This is madness.

[00:07:21]No planning approval. Crazy.

[00:07:30]We know the result of the Chinese work.

[00:07:33]We know the Chinese is too short to plan. Pretty face, bad character.

[00:07:39]The 57 houses, no planning approval, it's falling apart. 8 years.

[00:07:44]Do we want the same result there?

[00:07:46]Do you want an international airport that might never open or when it open, 2 days after it have to close?

[00:07:54]So, planning approval are going to take you they are going to take the government to court because this project do not have plan do not have no planning approval. So, before they have to take them to court, please do all your work according to the law of Dominica.

[00:08:12]Call for an instant stop or a pause on this project because it will happen. We don't want it to happen. We all want the airport, but it will happen according to the law of Dominica. When it reach to when it reach in court, the court the judge going to rule in the favor of the people who take the government to court. It is a must because there is no planning approval.

[00:08:37]So, that is an easy case.

[00:08:41]Let us do it right.

[00:08:43]Let us do it right.
