Parents of Belmopan's Our Lady Of Guadalupe R.C. schools are were celebrating last night because the DOE responded to their concerns over plans to build a gas station in front of the school. Those plans were widely criticized last week with residents fearing that a gas station adjacent to the school had the potential to cause frequent car accidents and become a hazard to the children.
And yesterday the DOE retracted the permit previously issued to businessman Ernesto Franco for the construction of the gas station. The Department ultimately determined that development could not proceed based on the fact that the property is adjacent to a school and a church. The official position being that unless that situation changes, permission can not be granted now or in the future.
