The Daren Sammy Cricket Ground is in dire financial straits when it comes to its utility bills. WASCO has shutdown water supply to the facility due to an overdue bill in excess of three hundred thousand dollars. Minister of Sports and
Culture, Fortuna Belsrose, says governments invest in sporting facilities as a social amenity, and there is a responsibility that a government has to step in to keep such facilities going. Nonetheless she says it is unfortunate that the utility bills have accumulated to such an exorbitant level of arrears when the facility has no means to generate that type of income.
