LIVE NOW! Senate debates the Tucker's Point SDO

Royal Gazette Staff

Updated: Mar 18, 2011 09:51 AM

Today, the Senate is due to discuss the controversial Rosewood Tucker's Point Special Development Order.It has already been passed in the House of Assembly – but appears to have split the community.Those in favour say Bermuda cannot afford to lose Tucker's Point and tourism must be nurtured.Those against are aghast at the prospect of precious green space - and Bermuda history - being lost to concrete.Today we will bring you the decisive debate live. We're starting early to allow everyone to have their say here – and to talk to some of the people who turn up to protest.It is likely that Senators will not start the SDO debate until much later today as they have the Budget to discuss first.[/naviga:iframe]</p> </div> <div class="related-links hidden"> <div class="fusion-separator sep-shadow sepa"></div> <div class="related-heading">Related Stories</div> <div class="list-menu list-unstyled row-edit" > <article class="list-item col-sm-6 col-xs-12 border-top py-2 px-1"><div class="related-img"><img src="https://imengine.editorial.prod.rgb.navigacloud.com/?uuid=f8930ab9-0c2d-5373-8d5c-32e7a8369c49&function=thumbnail&type=preview&source=false&width=75&height=70"></div><div class="related-title"><a href="https://www.royalgazette.com/international-business/business/article/20230609/creditor-lloyds-bank-seizes-telegraph-newspaper/">Creditor Lloyds takes control of Telegraph newspaper</a></div></article><hr> <article class="list-item col-sm-6 col-xs-12 border-top py-2 px-1"><div class="related-img"><img src="https://imengine.editorial.prod.rgb.navigacloud.com/?uuid=34ad24c2-78df-5d62-a75d-a004bd1a2dbf&function=thumbnail&type=preview&source=false&width=75&height=70"></div><div class="related-title"><a href="https://www.royalgazette.com/court/news/article/20230427/royal-gazette-reporter-banned-for-drink-driving/">Royal Gazette reporter banned for drink-driving</a></div></article><hr> <article class="list-item col-sm-6 col-xs-12 border-top py-2 px-1"><div class="related-img"><img src="https://imengine.editorial.prod.rgb.navigacloud.com/?uuid=a93b16ee-e767-529b-9d6e-7c165810279c&function=thumbnail&type=preview&source=false&width=75&height=70"></div><div class="related-title"><a href="https://www.royalgazette.com/tourism/news/article/20230411/esquire-magazine-highlights-bermuda-for-adventure-travel/">Esquire magazine highlights Bermuda for adventure travel </a></div></article><hr> <article class="list-item col-sm-6 col-xs-12 border-top py-2 px-1"><div class="related-img"><img src="https://imengine.editorial.prod.rgb.navigacloud.com/?uuid=abdefb67-bc47-54ef-a2dd-28cb49687060&function=thumbnail&type=preview&source=false&width=75&height=70"></div><div class="related-title"><a href="https://www.royalgazette.com/general/news/article/20230203/tony-cordeiro-1938-2023-photographer-with-uncanny-ability-to-make-you-believe-you-were-there/">Tony Cordeiro (1938-2023): photographer with ‘uncanny ability to make you believe you were there’</a></div></article><hr> </div> <div class="related-media hidden"> <div class="title">Related Media</div> <ul></ul> </div> </div> <div id="article-social-media-bottom" class="article-social-media"> <center><div class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons"></div></center> </div> <div class="inline-ads"> <div class="below-article-ad d-lg-block d-none"> <div id="div-gpt-ad-1397220158251-15" style="width:100%;" class="advertisement"> <script type="text/javascript"> if (googletag !== undefined) { googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1397220158251-15");
