Mayor Pleads Stop Feeding Homeless on Promenade

This report covers mayor pleads stop feeding with key details and context.

San Fernando’s mayor, Robert Parris, has appealed to citizens, church groups, and charitable organizations to stop feeding the homeless on Harris Promenade. His concern stems from the city’s inability to manage the growing situation. The number of displaced individuals living on the promenade has swelled to around 200, with some receiving food eight times daily. The mayor warns that this public feeding is attracting people from nearby areas, exacerbating an already challenging situation. He also highlighted the sanitation issue, with teams dealing with discarded food boxes and other waste daily. Parris urged charitable groups to collaborate with the city and the Ministry of Social Development for a more coordinated and sustainable assistance approach, as the promenade can no longer handle the influx of displaced people.
