The Editor, Sir: I fully agree with Professor Brown's suggestion that the Parliament should be relocated at National Heroes Park. This is a most appropriate site for all the reasons he outlined.

However, I would like to suggest further that the current site should not simply be abandoned, but converted into an interactive museum of Jamaica's political history. The museum would be home to video footage of seminal events in our contemporary political life; various election campaigns; speeches; documentaries et cetera.

While I recognise that the Institute of Jamaica has an excellent document archives, I think this more visual and interactive approach would be an effective way of sharing our political journey with children and young adults. It would also preserve Gordon House as an important heritage location and add to the cultural vibrancy of downtown Kingston.

The Editor, Sir: I like the idea of the new Parliament building being constructed at National Heroes Park.

The Editor, Sir: I believe the Parliament should remain exactly where it is at the present moment. What the government needs to do, is to renovate and extend into all the other conve-niences they will need.

I am sure this would be half the cost instead of a new building.

All things being equal, I would rather an expansion of the existing site in the interest of cost effectiveness to the Jamaican taxpayers.

The Editor, Sir: Heroes Circle is already playing its role adequately. Let history continue on its timeless invaluable course by allowing the new Parliament building to be built on its present site on Duke Street.
