Sea Lots res­i­dents from Pi­o­neer Dri­ve and Pro­duc­tion Av­enue are blam­ing one an­oth­er for the on­go­ing ten­sions in the area.

Di­vid­ed by the St Ann’s Riv­er, the com­mu­ni­ty which has al­ways been con­sid­ered “one” is now splin­tered in­to three, which all res­i­dents said was based on “non­sense.”

The ten­sion in the com­mu­ni­ty es­ca­lat­ed on Car­ni­val Mon­day re­sult­ing in Pro­duc­tion Dri­ve be­ing re­ferred to as Sea Lots East, Pi­o­neer Dri­ve turned to Sea Lots West, and the area clos­est to the Beetham High­way now called Sea Lots Cen­tral. When Guardian Me­dia vis­it­ed the area yes­ter­day, res­i­dents said they nev­er ac­cept­ed this di­vi­sion as po­lice of­fi­cers pa­trolled the com­mu­ni­ty.
