Campaigners are heading back to court for the final stages to secure the rights for Jamaicans to have access to a river which is popular with tourists.
The ongoing legal dispute stems from the Beach Control Act 1956 – colonial era law which regulates Jamaicans right to access all beaches – according to leading campaign group Jamaica Beach Birth Right Environmental Movement (JABBEM).
JaBBEM has previously said the law is outdated, “racist” and discriminatory and is stopping Jamaicans from enjoying their own country.
