BANDLEADERS SHOULD REPAINT, COMPENSATE

Residents of Patna Street, St James are calling on the Bandleaders to take responsibility for the damage their masquerades inflict on homes while parading the streets on Carnival Monday and Tuesday.

The community says for over a decade they’re faced with extensive and expensive damage to their property, especially after J’ouvert morning.

They believe it’s time bandleaders stand the cost of damage and/or carry out the cleaning and repainting necessary.
