Circus at Botanical Gardens Sparks Debate | Barbados News

Barbados’ Prime Minister Mia Mottley admits the Ministry of the Environment erred by approving the Suarez Brothers Circus at the International Botanical Gardens without consulting the Water Authority — but she defends the broader system, noting the Authority’s intervention proves checks and balances are still working. The circus was reportedly emailed four days prior denying permission, yet still opened — sparking public debate. Mottley also refutes claims that a new Geriatric Hospital lies in a sensitive water zone, clarifying it’s in Zone C, not the stricter Zone A, while emphasizing the Botanical Gardens’ restricted status was intentional to prevent such disruptions.
