Golf Carts In Central Park!?
Ever since Atlantic Bank purchased the empty lot where the old San Pedro Police Station was situated and golf carts started accessing the beach through it, Ambergris Today was on the tail of those motorists who insisted on driving their vehicles on the beach all the way from Playa Lounge up to Cholo’s Sports Bar.
The beach is not a road and we should all work on preserving our beautiful sandy areas. If we continue with this practice, then San Pedro will lose this precious commodity/luxury. We already lost our sandy streets to heavy traffic; we need to preserve our beaches.
With the help of the Town Council and traffic wardens, we put a stop to those who liked to ride in front of Central Park, but today I see another infraction to traffic laws. Some people have the audacity to ride their golf carts straight across Central Park to make it to the beach in front of Big Daddy’s.
There are children riding their bicycles, others playing on the park swings and residents enjoying the freeness of just relaxing at the park. How can someone just cut across Central Park with their golf cart is beyond me! The park is the one area that parents feel free to let their children run, ride and play without being concerned of traffic.
I don’t know if any of our Town Councilors or Traffic Wardens have seen this, but I have proof! They gain access into the park at three different locations – one by Friendship Park (by the RC Church), another by the small palapa and also at the southernmost end where Central Park borders the Atlantic Bank parking lot.
I urge the Town Council and Traffic Wardens to look into this matter and work on ways of creating obstacles that prevent motorist from driving into Central Park. Come on! This is absurd!

Golf Carts driven properly are not a safety issue. Some people are then allowed to enjoy the park and see much more of it were the golf cart option not available to them.
The foreigners that come and invest are welcome because without them many Belizeans wouldn't have a chance, many businesses are owned by Belizeans by name but behind it ,most of the time is a foreign investor. But the foreigner that comes to Belize with the intention of taking away from the Belizeans which are many, you can see them at the public meetings, involved with the police dept, they are very prejudice but when it comes to the police they forget about their prejudism. They want to dictate what is suppose to be done in our island, but it is us Belizeans to blame because we are the ones that don't stand up for our rights. We give the PUP which are the same bunch of people and the UDP the same bunch of people the chance to corrupt, thief etc ..every other term. They swear to serve the people but don't really specify which people because Belizeans are fool every time around election when all they need from us is our votes. Our duty as voters is to make sure these bunch of idaits do thier job , because by nothing serving the people they are stealing from us, tax payers !!!!!!!!
Stop putting the blame on foreigners without their money the contry would be in the gutter,It is the goverment who is filling their pocket and not thinking about the people. i live in the states and i am a belizean so i make my living here to help people at home so you see we cannot be selfish and put all the blame on foreigners.{THINK MY PEOPLE BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR BIG MOUTH}
BELIZE IS FREE FOR BELIZEANS NOT FOR THESE FOREIGNERS THAT COME HERE FROM EVERY WHERE IN THE WORLD AND TRY AND TAKE OVER, AND TREAT BELIZESANS LIKE SECOND CLASS CITIZEN IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY. BUT YOU HAVE TO BLAME THE MAJOR AND THE GOVERNMENT WHO GIVE THEM A FREE RIDE TO OUR COUNTRY, SO THEY THINK THEY COULD COME HERE AND DO WHAT EVER THEY WANT. THEY BRIBE THE GOVERMENT WITH BENJAMIN$$$$$$, AND THEY GET WHAT THEY WANT. SHAME ON THE FOOLS ON PATROL WHO GIVE THEM A FREE RIDE!!!!!
Belize might be free, but not for these idots, who come to our country and try to take over, who bribe the government with Benjamins$$$$, to get what they want who treat us like second class citizen in our own country. the run down to Belize and hide from the IRS, some of them don't pay now tax whats so ever, so they will do what ever they want. These people come down to our beautiful cayes, buy up everything cheap, thanks to the Belizean government for that, then they turn around make a huge profit, then try and sell us Belizean back what they just got from the goverment, the major of san Pedro, who give them what every they want, they want to sell us it for 10 times what they pay for it and then they want you to buy it with US dollars in our country. But we have to blame the government who give all the kick back, they think they are running the show on our island. And for the idoit on patrol, who his giving them a free ride I say same on them. Belizeans want our island back!!!!!!
What about these foreigner getting out of Belize, they come in our beautiful country, and want to take over Belizeans we are second class citizen in our own country. The white folks come down here, buy up everything make a profit, put their in the bank, and dogged the IRS, and our own Belizean who want to invest in our country and bring jobs back home, is getting beat down and harrass by these fools patrol. But we blame our government who sell-out our country for the Benjamins$$$$$$$. We are minority in their country and minority in ours. Ain't that a something!!!!!
Come on...have you guys not figured it out yet. Those guys will continue to go tru the park as many times as they want. Just take a look at which establishment is in the background. They have "special" permission to go in and out as they please. The Police and Traffic have thier hands tied. Don't lay the blame on them. Go a little higher. You and me cannot go on the beach only "certian VIP's can do that". It is sad...but that is the reality....
I agree with most of the comments here. Where are the traffic wardens when this is happening? I think the wardens are wasting a lot of our hard earned tax money on unimportant matters like whether motorists are wearing helmets! What a joke. I understand they care about the individual's personal health and safety but come on, they are ticketing every single person that forgets his/her helmet at home and not seeing the real issues as this one.
There are lots of issues that the SPTC does not deem as a "problem", however this is probably one of the most blatant- in our face issues and there is no way we can turn a blind eye to it as we usually do here on the island.









A piece of erudtiion unlike any other!
