Belmont is

Issue 2: Joseph, Jezanna, and Craig

When you come to Belmont, you have a lot of fun. You enjoy yourself wherever you go. It’s like that, it’s part of Trinidad, so you know, anywhere you go, is fun ... Erthig Road, Pelham Street ... just fun. Up in the park!

... Belmont just full ah vybz. Everywhere you turn, is bare niceness, bare happiness. Just vybzzzzzzz.

... Woodbrook, St. James. But these places are saturated with too much business. That in itself is a blessing. Belmont doesn’t really need that development. It’ll have the place more commercial and as with anything commercial, it presents itself with different issues to deal with. More crime, more drugs ... more employment, more flourishing. So they have the both the good, the bad, and the ugly ... I think preserving Belmont as it is, with not too much commerciality, will be a nice thing for Belmont.
