Controversy Brews Over New Safety Measures for Carnival Road March

This week, the Belize City Council issued a press release that rolled out a series of safety measures for the upcoming Carnival Road March to ensure a smooth and safe celebration. The measures were met with much controversy as among the precautionary measures, strict regulations on parking and vending along the carnival route were announced.
