## Resource

A tourist took a nasty tumble down an uncovered manhole on Belmont Road, sparking outrage from Friends of Democracy who say this isn’t just an accident—it’s a glaring safety failure demanding urgent infrastructure upgrades. They warn open manholes pose real risks to everyone, especially vulnerable pedestrians, and demand proactive maintenance to match Barbados’ promise of safety and hospitality. While the new Pearly app helps report issues, they insist tech can’t replace vigilant, hands-on upkeep. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
