Jamaicans appeal to Black Brits to research holiday and help force change.
“I think it is time, that when you vacation in Jamaica you ask your resort ‘can a Jamaican walk over your property to get to the beach?’ and if they say ‘no’ then you say ‘well I can’t stay here.’” He said: “Growing up we had access to several beaches along that corridor we’re are just a mile and half outside of Ocho Rios.FLAG OF CONVIENENCE: A tourist in Jamaica
The social and environmental justice advocate said that placing a limitation on the amount of beach front land foreign investors can purchase should be something the government considers. she said: “My dad has property out there that he wants to leave to his children who are born here but we know nothing at all about how it works out there.Ms Jackson’s mother has a property on the island and says she has to contact her father in Jamaica who understands how the system works and he has told her “you are getting ripped off and are paying too much Land Tax.”
She added: “If it was easier and clearer how to purchase property it would be a lot more popular amongst us who are British but have Caribbean heritage.” He added: “We must rid our emerging constitution of all discriminatory laws that were colonial hand overs that still impact the psychological state of Jamaica.”In the coming months, he says a legal defence fund will be set up and he is encouraging the Jamaican diaspora in the UK, to help contribute to the fund and use their voices to call for “constitutional protection for beach access.”
Dr Taylor is also a senior research and drug discovery scientist in Immunology and says since Jamaica’s Emancipation in 1838, there has not been any serious land reform, meaning, most of the descendants of enslaved Africans have “experienced being landless and homeless” as a result of colonialism.
