IT was definitely not good news to learn that Linden was burning at the same time of the London Olympics flame. It was indeed a great loss of lives during the Linden protest and the most I can add like many others is for continuous dialogue with stakeholders from all angles.
As a tourism advocate, I urge all foreign nationals not to venture out in that location for your personal safety.
Respectfully to Lindeners: as you burn, it’s also your responsibility to assist with the re-building process. It will definitely take a long while for you to re-build that positive image you once possessed, especially if you need to continue attracting foreigners in whatever small number/s to visit your community.
Business companies who usually support annual recreational events (Linden Town Week celebrations & Linden Track Meet) should make an effort to encourage promoters to have all proceeds from those events in the next round to go towards the re-building process of Linden.
