The never ceasing parade of flashing lights, blown bulbs, and damaged fixtures has led to safety issues, traffic accidents and overall frustration. The overriding question is why?

The WTP report answers some of those questions and the accompanying spreadsheet outlines the level of attention the system requires. We believe that this may be the first time ever that this type of detailed information has been available to the general public on this subject and allows every citizen the ability to make informed opinion on the matter.

I can say without fear of contradiction that if every community in the Bahamas had organizations such as the ECA committed to the welfare of their neighborhoods, we would see a big difference with respect to many of our social concerns. Mr. Spencer suggested that WTP umbrella these groups with a view to creating synergies and sharing resources so that these associations could benefit from the collective experiences of these groups.  Every aspect of what WTP seeks to achieve has been on the agenda of ECA for the past 7 years.
