There will be no ac­cess to San Fer­nan­do Hill dur­ing Sat­ur­day night’s fire­work dis­play in cel­e­bra­tion of In­de­pen­dence Day.

San Fer­nan­do May­or Ju­nia Re­grel­lo an­nounced the re­stric­tion at yes­ter­day’s statu­to­ry meet­ing of the San Fer­nan­do City Cor­po­ra­tion at City Hall. Re­grel­lo urged those in and com­ing to the City to find oth­er van­tage points to take in the dis­play. He said of­ten­times, peo­ple gath­er at the base of the hill and try to look at the fire­works at an awk­ward an­gle. ANSA McAl is spon­sor­ing the light show.

“We all know that the end of Au­gust brings with it the cel­e­bra­tion of our in­de­pen­dence. There­fore, in the spir­it of cel­e­bra­tion, I would like to thank ANSA McAl for once more en­sur­ing that San Fer­nan­do is not left out by spon­sor­ing the fire­works on the San Fer­nan­do Hill from 8 pm to 8.30 pm. The pub­lic is here­by ad­vised that there will be no ac­cess to the top of San Fer­nan­do Hill and should seek al­ter­na­tive van­tage points in the in­ter­est of their safe­ty,” Re­grel­lo said.

As T&T cel­e­brates 57 years of part­ing from its colo­nial rulers, Re­grel­lo said that the na­tion­al watch­words of Dis­ci­pline, Pro­duc­tion and Tol­er­ance con­tin­ues to be and are more rel­e­vant to­day than in 1962. He stressed the im­por­tance of as­pir­ing to those ideals as the City stands to ben­e­fit from the re­de­vel­op­ment of the San Fer­nan­do wa­ter­front and Skin­ner Park’s ren­o­va­tion. He ex­pects these two projects to pro­vide jobs to the City’s youths.

“On­ly when we ac­cept our re­spon­si­bil­i­ty as cit­i­zens of our great re­pub­lic, will we move for­ward to­geth­er as one peo­ple, in this grand ex­per­i­ment called the Re­pub­lic of Trinidad & To­ba­go.”
