Five days af­ter ris­ing ten­sions among Sea Lots res­i­dents thrust the com­mu­ni­ty in­to the me­dia head­lines, MP Kei­th Scot­land vis­it­ed the area yes­ter­day to help re­store calm.

Con­firm­ing this was achieved fol­low­ing a “peace meet­ing” at Pi­o­neer Dri­ve, Sea Lots, on Sat­ur­day evening, the Min­is­ter in the Min­istry of Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty said he was heart­ened by the move, which saw res­i­dents from all ar­eas of the com­mu­ni­ty talk­ing out their is­sues and ul­ti­mate­ly mak­ing the de­ci­sion to set side what­ev­er dif­fer­ences they had.

Dur­ing his vis­it, Scot­land ques­tioned a res­i­dent in a sar­cas­tic way ask­ing, “I heard it has three Sea Lots?”
