Dear Sir,

Police presence? What a laugh!

Tourists and locals are being robbed.

Road rage and speeding is increasing not decreasing.

Road deaths are increasing not decreasing.

Buses and large trucks (water trucks, Works and Engineerng, cement trucks, etc.) are driving at crazy speeds and crossing the lines into oncoming traffic. These huge vehicles are weapons and they need to slow down.

When are we going to actually see a Police presence every day? Not just once a month, here and there.

The Police need to be out there "nailing" these people daily!

The courts need to heavily increase the fines and licences need to be taken away.

It is a privilege to be able to drive, let's take away their privileges. There have to be consequences for these offences and the public needs to know that they are there if they don't abide by the rules of the roads.

Let's get the Police walking in pairs once again on the streets of Hamilton (not just on Front Street for show); all streets.

Get the police bikes out every day in all parishes.

We are only going to see more deaths, more robberies and fewer tourists if this is allowed to continue.

We have had three road deaths in one week and one person in critical condition? How many more do we need before something serious is done?

Why can't the Governor step in and work with the Government Ministers to change some of our laws and implement them asap?

SERIOUSLY CONCERNED CITIZEN
