		<description><![CDATA[I have a couple of comments to offer.

First, the park at the bottom of Dock Hill is treated very differently from, say, Astwood Park or Jobson&#039;s Cove. In fact, all of the parks along North Shore Road in Devonshire and Pembroke are treated differently from the parks on the South Shore in Warwick and Southampton.

Second, our Government has no intention of getting tough on locals. Our Government panders to locals because that is its power base.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As someone that lived in Devonshire as a child and still visits the dock hill area daily up until I became Ill a month ago , I find it hard to believe that nobody from Parks Department noticed the MASSIVE BOAT that has been illegally parked in the public dock hill dock. Somebody parked it there illegally 6+ months ago and started working on it and then stopped. Then there are the huts that were illegally built out of plywood scraps so that they boys that wanna hang out all day instead of working or taking care of their family can be comfortable. 

Parks, I&#039;m sorry but don&#039;t pretend that you mean business with the annual fluffy threats.  Put your foot down! Name , shame and fine!  Have those heavily paid ministers back you publicly.  Take our parks back and others will not be tempted to continue doing the same selfish @#$! .  Two years of tough business will lead to decades where you will once again be respected for what you are paid to do .]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is an idea I bet nobody thought of.  Why don&#039;t they start with the TCD and M&amp;P to see who the last registered owners were.  Next, how about fining the owners for abandoning vehicles. If they sold the vehicles they would know who to. When you purchase a new VAN TCD ask that you provide details to them within X days of whether or not it was sold for reuse or parts, destroyed, or where it was parked.  Sorry, but if the seller didn&#039;t do that, either prove who you sold / gifted it to by means of  a bill of sale.  If you don&#039;t have it, well tough life lesson and too bad on you. Ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law. 
 Get fined, learn a lesson or prove who you sold it to.  

 I mean if I overstay my welcome and park my legal vehicle 1 minute longer than legally allowed to, I get an instant $75 fine (or clamped) for going over by one minute.  But someone INTENTIONALLY PARKS OR ABANDONS a vehicle/boat and they politely ask people to remove. WTF!  They always issue a threat of a big fine and  Wayne Furbert will make a plea to the owners with more talk of fines or imprisonment but that has NEVER happened! 

Let me tell you how this will play out. In a week or two you will see parking tickets placed on the windows of  the abandoned cars. Nobody will ever get them, and nobody will pay them. A few weeks after that the tax payer pays for their removal and nobody is ever fined or imprisoned.   Parks and Marine &amp; Ports will pay to have these items removed and disposed of and the tax payer will eat the bill.  Six months to a year later their will be new vehicles abandoned there.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1st we say oh why bother it&#039;s just one wild chicken. In the blink of an eye thousands. The same with cars and trucks. At the end of the notice that&#039;s it. We have to move early to send a clear message that such actions are not only illegal but they destroy the beauty of Bermuda.]]></description>
