OBA Candidates & KBB Ord Road Cleanup
On Saturday morning [Mar.17], about 50 people including One Bermuda Alliance and FBA members Alexis Swan and Nandi Davis assisted Anne Hyde of KBB in a roadside cleanup that went from Paget Primary school along Ord Road to the junction with Dunscombe Road.
The event was supported by the Future Bermuda Alliance [FBA] which is the Youth Wing of the OBA. Anne Hyde from the KBB said that this Ord Road cleanup seemed to have collected hundreds of pounds worth of debris, trash, litter, and recyclables. She said that last year, in 134 operations, the KBB had collected 35.5 tons of debris, trash, litter, and recyclables.

Yeserday’s working group of about 50 was made up of about 8 persons from the OBA/FBA and about 5 were neighbourhood residents. The remainder were students, many of whom were accompanied by their parents; with most of the students doing the clean-up as a part of their Community Service curriculum requirement.
By prior arrangement with W&E, a crew from W&E will swing by on Monday and take away the scores of colourful bags left lying on the side of the now cleaned-up roadside.
Both Ms Swan and Ms Davis are newcomers to the political scene. Ms Swan, 25, will represent the party in Constituency #24 Warwick South East, which will see her go head to head against Lawrence Scott who was previously announced as the PLP’s candidate.
Ms Davis, also 25, will represent the party in Constituency #2 St. George’s West, which will see a three way battle, with the UBP’s Kim Swan – the incumbent – seeking re-election, and the PLP confirming that John Gibbons will be their candidate for St. George’s West.

Team OBA your doing good again – cant wait till you guys govern. PLP are not picking up anybody’s trash! You crazy!!!!!
Just to set the record straight, many PLP constituencies have participated in cleanup activities over the past several years. KBB welcomes any and all groups who want to keep Bermuda beautiful, litter-free and environmentally healthy.
This was KBB’s Monthly Cleanup, scheduled for Ord Road, and we were very happy to have One Bermuda Alliance candidates and youth members join the cleanup.
Well done everyone!

Keep Bermuda Beautiful (KBB)

Great job from the OBA youth wing, pulling together people from all walks of life. Bring Bermuda together for a better Bermuda. You fid more with less. Be very proud, but don’t stop here, keep up the great work.
Love the tatto Nandi!
Any coincidence thought that they are wearing red?
Well done. OBA keepin’ it real!!!
the video clip was so unnecessary in my opinion *straight face*
I guess the PLP candidates/MPs now need to call Bernews when they’re involved in community projects, like KBB clean-ups.

@ Hmmmm,
We continue to be astounded when the Defender/8 votes makes these asinine statements without doing any homework.
Thanks for the video.
Lol! And at that plOp cleanup they broke out flags and custom banners! Laverne really is a pain.
Nice try.
As you are posting from the BIU, how are those delayed 2010/11 accounts coming along?
It is very suspicious now that election time is in the air that these people want to pick up trash!
Election is nearing
Lets see how many time she does a clean up after the election.
P.S Not a PLP supporter
Plain and simple – - (sounding like Arrow) – “It’s Election time in Bermuda!”
Thanks “Hmm what is this” PLP did it first see Laverne, gave me a good chuckle to put her back in her box.
