Dear Editor,
Around 4:00 pm Wednesday afternoon I used the ATM at the Republic Bank (Rosignol Branch) leaving my vehicle in the parking area. I proceeded to pick up a drink at the shop opposite the Bank only to be hailed out by a Massy Security Guard who informed me that I can only park my vehicle there if I am conducting business with the Bank. I pointed out to him that my vehicle was the only one in the parking area, so I will not be inconveniencing anyone.
The land in front of the Bank happens to be the Government reserve which Republic Bank Limited has no proprietary rights over. Therefore, the Bank must desist from controlling public usage over such.
The development of the reserve is mutually beneficial for both the public and the Bank. Therefore, the bank should inform their security personnel of this fact and stop the harassing of the public.
