Fire Sparks Urgent Bridgetown Redevelopment | Barbados News

A devastating fire in Chapman Lane has ignited urgent calls from former contractor’s association president Troy Williams for immediate action on Bridgetown’s long-delayed redevelopment. Citing the city’s dangerously outdated, tightly packed wooden and stone buildings as a fire hazard, Williams argues this tragedy must be the wake-up call to finally modernize Bridgetown—prioritizing safety, functionality, and smart urban design. He’s pushing for faster implementation of the Master Plan, including multi-level parking, better emergency access, elevators, and underground parking, to address space and traffic challenges while ensuring safer, more resilient infrastructure for displaced families and future residents.
