UK Press on the Gambia Gets it all Wrong

A recent article I read on the Gambia commented on the ruin that has been made of the short coastline by unplanned building. I fly out in 2 weeks and cannot wait to see how much building work must have been done since May 09 to ruin the beaches and coastline I know in the Gambia!

Following a very quiet season in 2008-2009 its extraordinary to think that so much cash must have flooded in, but if the coastline is now full of ugly high rises, it will have been a great boost to the Gambian economy during the summer season.

The Gambian coast line hasnt changed due to water side onshore building.The reason the beach is disappearing is the continuos stream of lorries taking tons and tons of sand from the beach for for using in different inland constuction sites. Such as Paradise Island.
