I just received a report that dead bodies are being burned close to residential areas in Green Acres, in St. Catherine. Residents report that the smell is unbearable. The people cannot enjoy their meals without tasting the smell of burning human flesh. Is this really happening with the knowledge of the authorities? Are the residents just making up stories? We need to hear from NEPA, the Ministry of Health, and the St. Catherine Parish Council. The area is in the Minister of Health and Wellness's constituency, I am told. Mayor Scott, we need to hear from you, sir.
Message Received From a Resident of Green Acres
This is so distasteful. People can’t even sit on their verandas and appreciate fresh air. On my God! What did we do to deserve this? We are inhaling smoke for Dovecot and Meadowrest as well? How much more can they expect us to take, before the authorities do something about this?

Then if something like that is going on day and night why take so long to talk about it I don't believe I need prove
ReplyDeleteI would love you to go there and check it out for me. You should be able to find the proof!
DeleteI believe the resident. Many years ago when I lived in Greenacres and I smelled the awful smell of flesh burning. I was told that there was no crematorium at either of the cemetery but I did not believe.
ReplyDeleteThe putting of graves so close to the houses should have been objected to from the get-go. Yes, the lands belong to the cemeteries, but there should be respectful boundaries.
ReplyDeleteI heard there is a crematorium at Dovecot but the gasses being emitted should be scrubbed. There should be no smoke or smell.
ReplyDeleteThe Government, NEPA, Parish Council and the Health Department have failed the residents of Green Acres and the surrounding environment. The Government should have rules that no graves should be built or bodies buried within a certain measurement from residential homes. Both Dovecot and Meadowrest did not have the decency to create even a Forestry between both developments to give the residents some privacy in their homes. This is an easy fix for the aesthetic issue as all they needed to do is to get the Forestry Department to donate some trees. If those trees were planted five years ago they would have matured by now to provide a separation between both developments. With regards to the burning of bodies, Government need to put a stop order for Dovecot to discontinue the use of their outdated, dilapidated building and relocate elsewhere. Jamaica has too much idle land to "hitch" up a crematorium near residential properties. Both Dovecot and Meadowrest have shown no "Social Responsibility to Green Acres and the area in which they operate. The bottom line is money with scant regard to the health and wellbeing of the residents
ReplyDeleteDovcot is a rogue plague who are lining the pocket of politicians, NEPA, the parish council, councilors, etc...
ReplyDeleteThey have no regard for the living outside of speeding up their demise
Residence were told that a stop order was in place but in no time the burning started again.
ReplyDeleteMy entire family is affected by sneezing and coughing and asthma attacks. This is a disgrace
