?Vehicles won?t be allowed to park on South Park Street that is the street between the Memorial Park and Chateau Caribbean. No parking will be allowed from the corner of Cork Street, which is in front of the Radisson and the sea to North Park Street, and that is the street you use to go to the Mexican Embassy. That will be left for V.I.P.?s parking and people who want to see the fireworks will be allowed to stay in front of Chateau Caribbean Hotel all the way down to Baron Bliss lighthouse. They will be a break from the Chateau Caribbean to the North Park Street and the sea for the V.I.P. area, and from that area going north towards the princess or Central Bank Area people can stay and park out there and watch the fireworks.?

?For the morning of the twenty-first, starting at five a.m. we will control traffic from a further point, which is the corner of Queen and North Front Street. You will not be allowed a regular trip to go in that area there. If you live in the area, if you have a business in the area, if you are an important or invited guest you will be allowed to go in the area. If you are a guest of the Radisson or the Chateau Caribbean Hotel you will be allowed to go in there. But traffic will be controlled because we have the presidential visit.?
