SpotOn Getting Things Done With People Power and the People's Advocate

Trucks To Be Removed After Being Highlighted on SpotOn, Riddim FM

SpotOn working with the people has scored again! Listen to the voice mail below from Mayor Norman Scott, the Mayor of Spanish Town. He has listened to the voice of the people and he has acted. 

Please share this blog with your friends, especially those who live in Spanish Town.

Thanks to the Mayor for reaching out to me and thanks to all those who shared the blog showing the pictures of the trucks in Avondale. Your support made a big difference.

All parish councils must start to perform and ensure that citizens abide by the laws.

  • Ensure that all building plans are approved before construction starts.
  • Ensure that commercial buildings do not go up in residential areas.
  • Ensure that heave duty trucks do not park in residential areas.
  • Pressure central government to give you back the responsibility to collect garbage.
  • Pressure central government give up their right to call parish council elections when they feel like. We need a fixed date for parish council elections.



SpotOn Is SpotOn Again - Minister Grange Bows To Public Pressure

Once again SpotOn was SpotOn again as host Vernon Derby lead the protest against the cancellation of the people's National Festival Song Competition. Listen to the clip below:

We should not rejoice too much though because there are still a number of questions to be answered. The following are some of the questions:

  • Why is the JCDC without a head for over 5 years.
  • Why was the a previous head not allowed into the Festival Song Competition in 2020?
  • Why it took so long to find out that the songs were not good enough?
  • Why there was no public performance of the songs before the top 10 was to be chosen.
  • Since only one song would be selected why we did not just put all ten songs out so the public could hear them all?

I would like to hear the 123 songs that were denied the the price live of airplay. I think it is so disheartening to the hopefuls to have their honest effort tossed aside .

Congratulations regarding the intervention on the Festival Song issue.
It would be a truly wonderful independence gift to Jamaica if the following Three basic items were addressed:
1. Noise abatement - the loud noise from bikes , other vehicles and music are constantly terrorizing us!
2. Huts & buildings on the sidewalks - making our environment ugly & inconvenient .
3. Litter & arbitrary dumping on the streets - ugly & unsanitary.

Why is it so difficult for the parish councils & central government to address these matters - are they blind , don't they care?

The selection of festival songs must go back to how it was done in former years
